We carry out commercial roof lantern repairs in Chippenham and across the SN15 area. Commercial lanterns and atrium rooflights fail in the same ways as domestic ones, but access, safety and disruption matter more.
What you might be seeing
- Leaks into trading or office areas
- Insurance or landlord requirement for a report
- Managed buildings with planned maintenance needs
What usually causes it?
Scale
More lanterns, more joints, more drainage to block.
Deferred maintenance
Leaks appear when maintenance has slipped.
Covering Chippenham and nearby
Lanterns in central England see a bit of everything — summer sun that ages seals and end caps, autumn leaf fall that blocks eaves, and frosty mornings that bring condensation. A yearly check covers all three.
We cover Chippenham as part of Wiltshire, about 16 miles from Swindon.
Close by, we also cover Trowbridge (10 miles), Bath (12 miles), Yate (14 miles).
How much should it cost?
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.
