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

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.

Covering Tipton and nearby

Most inland lantern leaks aren't storm damage; they're usually tired sealant, a lifted capping or blocked eaves drainage. All three are quick to find and fix once you know where to look.

Urban grime and traffic film dull glass and frames quickly; a clean and seal check makes a tired lantern look and perform much better.

What should you expect to pay in Tipton?

Guide price, per lantern£195–£695 ex VAT£234–£834 inc VAT

Guide price for aluminium roof lantern repairs: £195–£695 ex VAT (£234–£834 inc 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.
