In Evesham, 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.
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.

What should you expect to pay in Evesham?
Guide price for cracked lantern glass replacement: £295–£795 ex VAT (£354–£954 inc 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?
Most lantern repairs in England need no approval at all. Where a job turns into a replacement, the Building Regulations 2010 apply and we confirm how the work will be signed off before we start. 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.

Not always. Clear photos are often enough for a guide price. Where the cause isn't obvious, a visit to inspect and water-test is charged from £145 ex VAT, confirmed before we come.
