We carry out aluminium roof lantern repairs in Keith and across the AB55 area. Aluminium lanterns are strong and slim, but they still rely on gaskets, cappings and seals that wear.
Signs you need aluminium roof lantern repairs
- Leaks at bars or ridge
- Cappings lifted or rattling
- Corrosion at cut edges or fixings in coastal areas
What usually causes it?
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 Keith
Colder winters mean more frosty mornings, and a roof lantern is often the coldest surface in a warm kitchen — so condensation is as common as genuine leaks. We check which you've got before quoting.
Coastal wind drives rain hard against lanterns, so cappings and ridge seals on the seaward face take the most punishment.

Guide prices for aluminium roof lantern repairs in Keith
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 Scotland?
In Scotland, 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 (Scotland) Regulations 2004, so we set out the route in writing first. Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent from the planning authority for alterations, with Historic Environment Scotland guidance; check before changing a lantern on a listed property.
