We carry out commercial roof lantern repairs in Aberystwyth and across the SY23 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
What usually causes it?
Access
Roof access, edge protection and permits all affect the plan.
Deferred maintenance
Leaks appear when maintenance has slipped.
Covering Aberystwyth and nearby
Western and upland parts of the UK get more rain and more wind-driven rain than the east, and that's what finds weak cappings and blocked eaves first. Lanterns here benefit from a check of the bars on the most exposed face and a clear eaves channel before winter.
Coastal wind drives rain hard against lanterns, so cappings and ridge seals on the seaward face take the most punishment.
From Carmarthen to Aberystwyth is roughly 40 miles — all part of the Dyfed area we cover.
If you're just outside Aberystwyth, we also cover Machynlleth (16 miles), Dolgellau (24 miles), Llandrindod Wells (32 miles).

Do you need permission in Wales?

Where a job turns into a replacement, the Building Regulations 2010 (as applied in Wales) apply and we confirm how the work will be signed off before we start. Listed buildings in Wales need listed building consent from the local planning authority for alterations, with Cadw guidance on historic buildings; check with the council before changing a lantern on a listed property.
