Aluminium lanterns are strong and slim, but they still rely on gaskets, cappings and seals that wear. Send photos from Pudsey (LS28) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.

Finish damage
Scratches and chips expose bare metal; coastal air speeds up corrosion.
Covering Pudsey and nearby
Wind-driven rain is the real test of a roof lantern, and the wetter west sees plenty of it. Leaks that appear only in a storm from one direction usually point to the cappings or eaves on that face — a useful clue when you send us photos.
In built-up areas, access is often the hardest part of the job — through the house, over a neighbour's roof, or with parking restrictions. We plan access in advance and price any tower or scaffold into the quote.
Pudsey is around 5 miles from Leeds, and both are within our West Yorkshire coverage.
Close by, we also cover Bradford (4 miles), Morley (5 miles), Leeds (5 miles).
What should you expect to pay in Pudsey?
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?
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.
