In Tonypandy, as everywhere, aluminium lanterns are strong and slim, but they still rely on gaskets, cappings and seals that wear. Send photos and we'll tell you what we think has failed.

Why it happens
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.
Covering Tonypandy and nearby
Western and upland parts of the UK get more rain and more wind-driven rain than the east, and that's what finds weak cappings and blocked eaves first. Lanterns here benefit from a check of the bars on the most exposed face and a clear eaves channel before winter.

Do you need permission in Wales?
In Wales, like-for-like repairs to a roof lantern don't usually involve building control. A full replacement or a bigger opening is controlled under the Building Regulations 2010 (as applied in Wales), so we set out the route in writing first. Listed buildings in Wales need listed building consent from the local planning authority for alterations, with Cadw guidance on historic buildings; check with the council before changing a lantern on a listed property.
