Is it time for cracked lantern glass replacement?

  • A starburst from an impact point
  • A crack running from an edge (often thermal stress)
  • Broken glass inside the room — keep everyone out of the area

Common causes we find

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.

Even in drier areas, one heavy downpour with blocked eaves is enough to overflow a lantern indoors. Clearing the eaves channel is the simplest prevention there is.

Guide prices for cracked lantern glass replacement in Reigate

Guide price, per glass unit£295–£795 ex VAT£354–£954 inc VAT

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?

In England, like-for-like repairs to a roof lantern don't usually involve building control. A full replacement or a bigger opening is controlled under the Building Regulations 2010, so we set out the route in writing first. 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.
