About Sandown and the PO36 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.
Coastal wind drives rain hard against lanterns, so cappings and ridge seals on the seaward face take the most punishment.
We cover Sandown 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.
Close by, we also cover Ryde (5 miles), Newport, Isle of Wight (7 miles), Cowes (10 miles).
How much should it cost?
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?
Most lantern repairs in England need no approval at all. Where a job turns into a replacement, the Building Regulations 2010 apply and we confirm how the work will be signed off before we start. 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.
