In Streatham, as everywhere, commercial lanterns and atrium rooflights fail in the same ways as domestic ones, but access, safety and disruption matter more. Send photos and we'll tell you what we think has failed.

About Streatham and the SW16 area
Even in drier areas, one heavy downpour with blocked eaves is enough to overflow a lantern indoors. Clearing the eaves channel is the simplest prevention there is.
London's extensions are often tight to neighbouring walls and roofs. Where a repair needs access over a neighbour's property, we'll tell you in advance so you can arrange it.

What should you expect to pay in Streatham?
Guide price for commercial roof lantern repairs: £495–£2,995 ex VAT (£594–£3,594 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.
