A cracked pane in a roof lantern needs prompt attention because the glass is overhead. Send photos from Alloa (FK10) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.
What you might be seeing
- A visible crack in the outer or inner pane

Common causes we find
Impact
Hail, falling branches or dropped tools.
Thermal stress
Uneven heating across a pane, edge damage or partial shading can crack glass from the edge.
