Commercial lanterns and atrium rooflights fail in the same ways as domestic ones, but access, safety and disruption matter more. Send photos from Cowes (PO31) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.
What you might be seeing

Why it happens
Scale
More lanterns, more joints, more drainage to block.
Access
Roof access, edge protection and permits all affect the plan.
About Cowes and the PO31 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.
Coastal wind drives rain hard against lanterns, so cappings and ridge seals on the seaward face take the most punishment.
We cover Cowes by arrangement: island work is planned around ferry access, and any travel or access costs are set out in your written quote before you commit.
Neighbouring places we cover include Newport, Isle of Wight (4 miles), Ryde (6 miles), Gosport (8 miles).
Guide prices for commercial roof lantern repairs in Cowes
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.
