We carry out flat rooflight and skylight repairs in Chalk Farm and across the NW3 area. Flat rooflights fail in the same places as lanterns: the seal to the upstand, the roof junction and the glass unit.

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 Chalk Farm

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.

Across London, many lanterns sit on rear extensions with access only through the house, so we protect floors and plan the work to keep time indoors to a minimum. Parking and any permits are factored into the quote.

Chalk Farm is around 3 miles from Westminster, and both are within our Greater London coverage.

We also cover nearby Camden Town (1 mile), Holloway (1 mile), Archway (2 miles).

What should you expect to pay in Chalk Farm?

Guide price, per rooflight£195–£595 ex VAT£234–£714 inc VAT

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?

In England, like-for-like repairs to a roof lantern don't usually involve building control. A full replacement or a bigger opening is controlled under the Building Regulations 2010, so we set out the route in writing first. 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.
