In North Berwick, 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.
Is it time for 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?
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.

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.
Urban grime and traffic film dull glass and frames quickly; a clean and seal check makes a tired lantern look and perform much better.
North Berwick is around 20 miles from Edinburgh, and both are within our Edinburgh and the Lothians coverage.

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 Scotland?
Most lantern repairs in Scotland need no approval at all. Where a job turns into a replacement, the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 apply and we confirm how the work will be signed off before we start. Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent from the planning authority for alterations, with Historic Environment Scotland guidance; check before changing a lantern on a listed property.
