We carry out cracked lantern glass replacement in Bromsgrove and across the B61 area. A cracked pane in a roof lantern needs prompt attention because the glass is overhead.
Is it time for cracked lantern glass replacement?

What usually causes it?
Impact

Spontaneous breakage
Toughened glass can occasionally break without warning, which is why laminated inner panes are recommended overhead.

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.
