We carry out aluminium roof lantern repairs in Alloa and across the FK10 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
- Cappings lifted or rattling
- 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.
Covering Alloa 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.
From Stirling to Alloa is roughly 6 miles — all part of the Stirling and Falkirk area we cover.

How much should it cost?
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.
