We carry out flat rooflight and skylight repairs in High Wycombe and across the HP13 area. Flat rooflights fail in the same places as lanterns: the seal to the upstand, the roof junction and the glass unit.
Signs you need flat rooflight and skylight repairs
- Water around the rooflight edge
- Misted glass
- Cracked sealant or a lifted membrane at the upstand
Why it happens
Upstand detail
As with lanterns, the membrane must be dressed up and sealed.
Unit failure
Edge seals fail and the unit mists.
About High Wycombe and the HP13 area
Leaf fall from garden trees is the most common cause of eaves overflow on suburban extensions. If your lantern sits near trees, clearing the eaves channel each autumn prevents a lot of drips.
High Wycombe is around 13 miles from Aylesbury, and both are within our Buckinghamshire coverage.
If you're just outside High Wycombe, we also cover Amersham (6 miles), Maidenhead (7 miles), Chesham (8 miles).
How much should it cost?
Most flat rooflight and skylight repairs jobs come in between £195 and £595 ex VAT (£234–£714 including 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?
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.
