In Dungannon, as everywhere, a cracked pane in a roof lantern needs prompt attention because the glass is overhead. Send photos and we'll tell you what we think has failed.
What you might be seeing
- A visible crack in the outer or inner pane
- A starburst from an impact point
- A crack running from an edge (often thermal stress)
What usually causes it?
Impact
Hail, falling branches or dropped tools.
Thermal stress
Uneven heating across a pane, edge damage or partial shading can crack glass from the edge.
Roof lanterns in Dungannon
Western and upland parts of the UK get more rain and more wind-driven rain than the east, and that's what finds weak cappings and blocked eaves first. Lanterns here benefit from a check of the bars on the most exposed face and a clear eaves channel before winter.
From Omagh to Dungannon is roughly 22 miles — all part of the County Tyrone area we cover.

What should you expect to pay in Dungannon?

Do you need permission in Northern Ireland?
In Northern Ireland, 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 (Northern Ireland) 2012, so we set out the route in writing first. Listed buildings in Northern Ireland need listed building consent from the council for alterations; check with the council's planning service before changing a lantern on a listed property.
