We carry out commercial roof lantern repairs in Chelsea and across the SW10 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
- Multiple lanterns on one roof needing a programme
- Insurance or landlord requirement for a report
Common causes we find
Scale
More lanterns, more joints, more drainage to block.
Access
Roof access, edge protection and permits all affect the plan.
About Chelsea and the SW10 area
Sun and UV do more damage than rain on many lanterns here: brittle ridge caps, chalky finishes and hardened gaskets. They're cheap to replace before they let water in.
Across London, many lanterns sit on rear extensions with access only through the house, so we protect floors and plan the work to keep time indoors to a minimum. Parking and any permits are factored into the quote.
We cover Chelsea as part of Greater London, about 2 miles from Westminster.
If you're just outside Chelsea, we also cover Battersea (1 mile), Fulham (1 mile), Pimlico (1 mile).
How much should it cost?
Most commercial roof lantern repairs jobs come in between £495 and £2,995 ex VAT (£594–£3,594 including 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.
