Is it time for cracked lantern glass replacement?

  • A visible crack in the outer or inner pane
  • A starburst from an impact point
  • A crack running from an edge (often thermal stress)

Common causes we find

Impact

Hail, falling branches or dropped tools.

Spontaneous breakage

Toughened glass can occasionally break without warning, which is why laminated inner panes are recommended overhead.

Roof lanterns in Uxbridge

Sun and UV do more damage than rain on many lanterns here: brittle ridge caps, chalky finishes and hardened gaskets. They're cheap to replace before they let water in.

Across London, many lanterns sit on rear extensions with access only through the house, so we protect floors and plan the work to keep time indoors to a minimum. Parking and any permits are factored into the quote.

From Westminster to Uxbridge is roughly 15 miles — all part of the Greater London area we cover.

We also cover nearby Ruislip (3 miles), Hayes (3 miles), Gerrards Cross (4 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?

Most lantern repairs in England need no approval at all. Where a job turns into a replacement, the Building Regulations 2010 apply and we confirm how the work will be signed off before we start. 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.

Why did my glass crack on a sunny day?

Thermal stress — one part of the pane heats faster than another, often where it's shaded or chipped at the edge.
