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)

What usually causes it?

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 Corby and nearby

Most inland lantern leaks aren't storm damage; they're usually tired sealant, a lifted capping or blocked eaves drainage. All three are quick to find and fix once you know where to look.

Corby is around 19 miles from Northampton, and both are within our Northamptonshire coverage.

What should you expect to pay in Corby?

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?

Straightforward repairs — resealing, gaskets, cappings, eaves and like-for-like parts — don't normally need building regulations approval in England. Replacing the whole lantern or enlarging the opening is different and falls under the Building Regulations 2010; we confirm in writing which route applies before any replacement. 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.
