We carry out aluminium roof lantern repairs in Salisbury and across the SP1 area. Aluminium lanterns are strong and slim, but they still rely on gaskets, cappings and seals that wear.
Is it time for aluminium roof lantern repairs?
- Cappings lifted or rattling
- Misted units
- Corrosion at cut edges or fixings in coastal areas
Common causes we find
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.

Guide prices for aluminium roof lantern repairs in Salisbury
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?
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.
