We carry out cracked lantern glass replacement in Weston-super-Mare and across the BS23 area. A cracked pane in a roof lantern needs prompt attention because the glass is overhead.

What usually causes it?
Impact
Hail, falling branches or dropped tools.

About Weston-super-Mare and the BS23 area
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.
We cover Weston-super-Mare as part of Somerset, about 24 miles from Taunton.
Neighbouring places we cover include Burnham-on-Sea (7 miles), Clevedon (8 miles), Nailsea (11 miles).
How much should it cost?
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?
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.
