We carry out aluminium roof lantern repairs in Wednesfield and across the WV11 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

What usually causes it?
Worn gaskets
Gaskets do the weatherproofing; they harden and shrink with age.
Thermal movement
Aluminium moves with temperature; seals and fixings take the strain.
Roof lanterns in Wednesfield
Lanterns in central England see a bit of everything — summer sun that ages seals and end caps, autumn leaf fall that blocks eaves, and frosty mornings that bring condensation. A yearly check covers all three.
Urban grime and traffic film dull glass and frames quickly; a clean and seal check makes a tired lantern look and perform much better.
We cover Wednesfield as part of West Midlands, about 11 miles from Birmingham.
Close by, we also cover Willenhall (1 mile), Wolverhampton (2 miles), Bloxwich (4 miles).
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 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.
