In Bridlington, as everywhere, flat rooflights fail in the same places as lanterns: the seal to the upstand, the roof junction and the glass unit. Send photos and we'll tell you what we think has failed.
Signs you need flat rooflight and skylight repairs
- Misted glass
- Ponding on the glass (not enough fall)
- 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.
Roof lanterns in Bridlington
Freeze-thaw cycles open up tired sealant and gaskets faster than mild weather does. A spring check after a hard winter catches most problems before they leak.
Coastal wind drives rain hard against lanterns, so cappings and ridge seals on the seaward face take the most punishment.

How much should it cost?
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.
