Is it time for cracked lantern glass replacement?

  • A visible crack in the outer or inner pane
  • A crack running from an edge (often thermal stress)
  • Broken glass inside the room — keep everyone out of the area

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.

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.
