We carry out aluminium roof lantern repairs in Newport, Isle of Wight and across the PO30 area. Aluminium lanterns are strong and slim, but they still rely on gaskets, cappings and seals that wear.
Is it time for aluminium roof lantern repairs?
- Cappings lifted or rattling
- Misted units
- Corrosion at cut edges or fixings in coastal areas
Why it happens
Worn gaskets
Gaskets do the weatherproofing; they harden and shrink with age.
Thermal movement
Aluminium moves with temperature; seals and fixings take the strain.
Roof lanterns in Newport, Isle of Wight
Even in drier areas, one heavy downpour with blocked eaves is enough to overflow a lantern indoors. Clearing the eaves channel is the simplest prevention there is.
Near the coast, salt in the air is hard on aluminium finishes and fixings; washing the frame occasionally and touching in chips keeps corrosion away.

Guide prices for aluminium roof lantern repairs in Newport, Isle of Wight
Most aluminium roof lantern repairs jobs come in between £195 and £695 ex VAT (£234–£834 including VAT), per lantern. Towers or scaffold, where needed, are priced into the quote. Your fixed price is confirmed in writing before any work starts.
Do you need permission in England?
Most lantern repairs in England need no approval at all. Where a job turns into a replacement, the Building Regulations 2010 apply and we confirm how the work will be signed off before we start. Listed buildings need listed building consent from the local council for alterations, and conservation areas can have extra controls; like-for-like repairs are treated differently from changes, so check with the council's conservation officer first.
