We carry out flat rooflight and skylight repairs in Wisbech and across the PE13 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
- 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.
About Wisbech and the PE13 area
Sun and UV do more damage than rain on many lanterns here: brittle ridge caps, chalky finishes and hardened gaskets. They're cheap to replace before they let water in.
Wisbech is around 32 miles from Cambridge, and both are within our Cambridgeshire coverage.
Neighbouring places we cover include March (8 miles), King's Lynn (12 miles), Spalding (15 miles).
Guide prices for flat rooflight and skylight repairs in Wisbech
Typical range: £195–£595 ex VAT, which is £234–£714 with 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?
Straightforward repairs — resealing, gaskets, cappings, eaves and like-for-like parts — don't normally need building regulations approval in England. Replacing the whole lantern or enlarging the opening is different and falls under the Building Regulations 2010; we confirm in writing which route applies before any replacement. 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.

Flat rooflight and skylight repairs in Wisbech: questions
Can you repair a lantern someone else installed in Wisbech?
Yes. We repair lanterns whoever fitted them. If yours is still under the installer's warranty, contact them first so you don't affect it.
Which places near Wisbech do you cover?
As well as Wisbech, we cover nearby March, King's Lynn, Spalding, Peterborough and the rest of Cambridgeshire.
Do you replace walk-on rooflight glass?
Walk-on glass is a specialist structural unit; we can measure and specify a replacement from the right manufacturer.

Our focus is flat rooflights and lanterns; pitched roof windows are a different trade and we'll say so if that's what you have.
