In Morpeth, 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.

Is it time for aluminium roof lantern repairs?
- Cappings lifted or rattling
- Chalky or chipped powder coat
- Corrosion at cut edges or fixings in coastal areas
Common causes we find
Worn gaskets
Gaskets do the weatherproofing; they harden and shrink with age.
Thermal movement
Aluminium moves with temperature; seals and fixings take the strain.
Covering Morpeth and nearby
Freeze-thaw cycles open up tired sealant and gaskets faster than mild weather does. A spring check after a hard winter catches most problems before they leak.
Coastal wind drives rain hard against lanterns, so cappings and ridge seals on the seaward face take the most punishment.
Neighbouring places we cover include Ashington (5 miles), Cramlington (7 miles), Blyth (8 miles).
How much should it cost?
Typical range: £195–£695 ex VAT, which is £234–£834 with 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?
Straightforward repairs — resealing, gaskets, cappings, eaves and like-for-like parts — don't normally need building regulations approval in England. Replacing the whole lantern or enlarging the opening is different and falls under the Building Regulations 2010; we confirm in writing which route applies before any replacement. 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.
