Roof lanterns in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire
Snow and ice sitting at the eaves can block a lantern's drainage and push water back under the glass as it melts. If your lantern leaks after a thaw rather than after rain, tell us — it points to the eaves and kerb.
Coastal wind drives rain hard against lanterns, so cappings and ridge seals on the seaward face take the most punishment.

Do you need permission in Scotland?

Where a job turns into a replacement, the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 apply and we confirm how the work will be signed off before we start. Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent from the planning authority for alterations, with Historic Environment Scotland guidance; check before changing a lantern on a listed property.
