In Borehamwood, 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.
What you might be seeing
- Leaks into trading or office areas
- Multiple lanterns on one roof needing a programme
- Managed buildings with planned maintenance needs
Common causes we find
Access
Roof access, edge protection and permits all affect the plan.
Deferred maintenance
Leaks appear when maintenance has slipped.
Covering Borehamwood and nearby
Leaf fall from garden trees is the most common cause of eaves overflow on suburban extensions. If your lantern sits near trees, clearing the eaves channel each autumn prevents a lot of drips.
Borehamwood is around 7 miles from St Albans, and both are within our Hertfordshire coverage.
Close by, we also cover Barnet (3 miles), Bushey (4 miles), Potters Bar (5 miles).
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.
