We carry out flat rooflight and skylight repairs in Peterborough and across the PE1 area. Flat rooflights fail in the same places as lanterns: the seal to the upstand, the roof junction and the glass unit.
Is it time for flat rooflight and skylight repairs?
- Water around the rooflight edge
- Misted glass
- Ponding on the glass (not enough fall)
What usually causes it?
No fall
Flat glass needs a slight fall to shed water; ponding stresses seals.
Upstand detail
As with lanterns, the membrane must be dressed up and sealed.
About Peterborough and the PE1 area
Even in drier areas, one heavy downpour with blocked eaves is enough to overflow a lantern indoors. Clearing the eaves channel is the simplest prevention there is.
Peterborough is around 30 miles from Cambridge, and both are within our Cambridgeshire coverage.
Neighbouring places we cover include Stamford (11 miles), March (14 miles), Spalding (15 miles).
Guide prices for flat rooflight and skylight repairs in Peterborough
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?
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.
