We carry out cracked lantern glass replacement in Haddington and across the EH41 area. A cracked pane in a roof lantern needs prompt attention because the glass is overhead.
Is it time for cracked lantern glass replacement?
- A visible crack in the outer or inner pane
- A crack running from an edge (often thermal stress)
- Broken glass inside the room — keep everyone out of the area
What usually causes it?
Thermal stress
Uneven heating across a pane, edge damage or partial shading can crack glass from the edge.
Spontaneous breakage
Toughened glass can occasionally break without warning, which is why laminated inner panes are recommended overhead.
Roof lanterns in Haddington
Snow and ice sitting at the eaves can block a lantern's drainage and push water back under the glass as it melts. If your lantern leaks after a thaw rather than after rain, tell us — it points to the eaves and kerb.
In built-up areas, access is often the hardest part of the job — through the house, over a neighbour's roof, or with parking restrictions. We plan access in advance and price any tower or scaffold into the quote.
Haddington is around 16 miles from Edinburgh, and both are within our Edinburgh and the Lothians coverage.

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.
