We carry out commercial roof lantern repairs in Dunoon and across the PA23 area. Commercial lanterns and atrium rooflights fail in the same ways as domestic ones, but access, safety and disruption matter more.
What you might be seeing
- Leaks into trading or office areas
- Insurance or landlord requirement for a report
- Managed buildings with planned maintenance needs
Why it happens
Access
Roof access, edge protection and permits all affect the plan.
Deferred maintenance
Leaks appear when maintenance has slipped.
Covering Dunoon and nearby
Damp, mild winters keep moss and algae growing on flat roofs and lantern frames, which holds water against seals and blocks weep slots. Regular clearing makes a real difference in wetter areas.
Coastal wind drives rain hard against lanterns, so cappings and ridge seals on the seaward face take the most punishment.
From Oban to Dunoon is roughly 39 miles — all part of the Argyll and Bute area we cover.
Neighbouring places we cover include Greenock (6 miles), Helensburgh (9 miles), Rothesay (9 miles).

Do you need permission in Scotland?
In Scotland, 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 (Scotland) Regulations 2004, so we set out the route in writing first. Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent from the planning authority for alterations, with Historic Environment Scotland guidance; check before changing a lantern on a listed property.
