In Havant, 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 should you expect to pay in Havant?

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.
