In Egham, as everywhere, a cracked pane in a roof lantern needs prompt attention because the glass is overhead. Send photos and we'll tell you what we think has failed.

What should you expect to pay in Egham?
Most cracked lantern glass replacement jobs come in between £295 and £795 ex VAT (£354–£954 including 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.
