A cracked pane in a roof lantern needs prompt attention because the glass is overhead. Send photos from Camberley (GU15) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.
Signs you need cracked lantern glass replacement

Roof lanterns in Camberley
Sun and UV do more damage than rain on many lanterns here: brittle ridge caps, chalky finishes and hardened gaskets. They're cheap to replace before they let water in.
We cover Camberley as part of Surrey, about 10 miles from Guildford.
We also cover nearby Sandhurst (2 miles), Farnborough (3 miles), Crowthorne (3 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?
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.
