We carry out flat rooflight and skylight repairs in Maidenhead and across the SL6 area. Flat rooflights fail in the same places as lanterns: the seal to the upstand, the roof junction and the glass unit.
What you might be seeing
- Misted glass
- Ponding on the glass (not enough fall)
- Cracked sealant or a lifted membrane at the upstand
What usually causes it?
Upstand detail
As with lanterns, the membrane must be dressed up and sealed.
Unit failure
Edge seals fail and the unit mists.
Roof lanterns in Maidenhead

Guide prices for flat rooflight and skylight repairs in Maidenhead
Guide price for flat rooflight and skylight repairs: £195–£595 ex VAT (£234–£714 inc VAT), per rooflight. 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.
