Is it time for aluminium roof lantern repairs?

  • Leaks at bars or ridge
  • Chalky or chipped powder coat
  • Corrosion at cut edges or fixings in coastal areas

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.

Roof lanterns in Chichester

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.

Coastal wind drives rain hard against lanterns, so cappings and ridge seals on the seaward face take the most punishment.

If you're just outside Chichester, we also cover Bognor Regis (6 miles), Havant (9 miles), Littlehampton (11 miles).

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.
