Thermal stress

How much should it cost?

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

Most cracked lantern glass replacement jobs come in between £295 and £795 ex VAT (£354–£954 including 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.
