Is it time for cracked lantern glass replacement?

  • A visible crack in the outer or inner pane
  • A starburst from an impact point
  • Broken glass inside the room — keep everyone out of the area

Common causes we find

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.

About Tewkesbury and the GL20 area

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.

Tewkesbury is around 9 miles from Gloucester, and both are within our Gloucestershire coverage.

If you're just outside Tewkesbury, we also cover Cheltenham (7 miles), Gloucester (9 miles), Great Malvern (11 miles).

How much should it cost?

Guide price, per glass unit£295–£795 ex VAT£354–£954 inc VAT

Typical range: £295–£795 ex VAT, which is £354–£954 with VAT, per glass unit. 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?

In England, 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 2010, so we set out the route in writing first. 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.
