We carry out commercial roof lantern repairs in Hertford and across the SG13 area. Commercial lanterns and atrium rooflights fail in the same ways as domestic ones, but access, safety and disruption matter more.

Roof lanterns in Hertford
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.
From St Albans to Hertford is roughly 11 miles — all part of the Hertfordshire area we cover.
If you're just outside Hertford, we also cover Hoddesdon (4 miles), Welwyn Garden City (6 miles), Hatfield (7 miles).
How much should it cost?
Typical range: £495–£2,995 ex VAT, which is £594–£3,594 with 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?
Straightforward repairs — resealing, gaskets, cappings, eaves and like-for-like parts — don't normally need building regulations approval in England. Replacing the whole lantern or enlarging the opening is different and falls under the Building Regulations 2010; we confirm in writing which route applies before any replacement. 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.
