We carry out cracked lantern glass replacement in Blackwood and across the NP12 area. A cracked pane in a roof lantern needs prompt attention because the glass is overhead.

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)

Why it happens

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.

Covering Blackwood and nearby

Wind-driven rain is the real test of a roof lantern, and the wetter west sees plenty of it. Leaks that appear only in a storm from one direction usually point to the cappings or eaves on that face — a useful clue when you send us photos.

From Newport, Gwent to Blackwood is roughly 11 miles — all part of the Gwent area we cover.

We also cover nearby Risca (6 miles), Caerphilly (6 miles), Pontypridd (7 miles).

Do you need permission in Wales?

In Wales, 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 (as applied in Wales), so we set out the route in writing first. Listed buildings in Wales need listed building consent from the local planning authority for alterations, with Cadw guidance on historic buildings; check with the council before changing a lantern on a listed property.
