Worn gaskets

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

Guide prices for aluminium roof lantern repairs in Cannock
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?
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.
