In Perth, 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.
About Perth and the PH1 area
Freeze-thaw cycles open up tired sealant and gaskets faster than mild weather does. A spring check after a hard winter catches most problems before they leak.
Neighbouring places we cover include Auchterarder (13 miles), Kinross (13 miles), Blairgowrie (14 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 Scotland?
In Scotland, 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 (Scotland) Regulations 2004, so we set out the route in writing first. Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent from the planning authority for alterations, with Historic Environment Scotland guidance; check before changing a lantern on a listed property.
