Aluminium lanterns are strong and slim, but they still rely on gaskets, cappings and seals that wear. Send photos from Camberley (GU15) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.

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.
About Camberley and the GU15 area
Drier, sunnier parts of the UK are kinder to seals than the wet west, but strong sun ages sealant, gaskets and plastic end caps, and south- or west-facing lanterns can make rooms very warm. Solar control glass and an opening vent help.
Camberley is around 10 miles from Guildford, and both are within our Surrey coverage.
We also cover nearby Sandhurst (2 miles), Farnborough (3 miles), Crowthorne (3 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?
In England, 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 Regulations 2010, so we set out the route in writing first. 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.
