Is it time for aluminium roof lantern repairs?

  • Chalky or chipped powder coat
  • Corrosion at cut edges or fixings in coastal areas

Why it happens

Thermal movement

Aluminium moves with temperature; seals and fixings take the strain.

Finish damage

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

Roof lanterns in Elgin

Snow and ice sitting at the eaves can block a lantern's drainage and push water back under the glass as it melts. If your lantern leaks after a thaw rather than after rain, tell us — it points to the eaves and kerb.

Coastal wind drives rain hard against lanterns, so cappings and ridge seals on the seaward face take the most punishment.

We also cover nearby Lossiemouth (5 miles), Forres (12 miles), Buckie (13 miles).
