Signs you need aluminium roof lantern repairs

  • Leaks at bars or ridge
  • Cappings lifted or rattling
  • Misted units

Common causes we find

Worn gaskets

Gaskets do the weatherproofing; they harden and shrink with age.

Finish damage

Scratches and chips expose bare metal; coastal air speeds up corrosion.

Roof lanterns in Tunbridge Wells

Drier, sunnier parts of the UK are kinder to seals than the wet west, but strong sun ages sealant, gaskets and plastic end caps, and south- or west-facing lanterns can make rooms very warm. Solar control glass and an opening vent help.

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 price for aluminium roof lantern repairs: £195–£695 ex VAT (£234–£834 inc 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.
