In Ewell, 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 Ewell and the KT17 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.
We cover Ewell as part of Surrey, about 16 miles from Guildford.

What should you expect to pay in Ewell?
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?
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.
