We carry out flat rooflight and skylight repairs in Notting Hill and across the W11 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
- Misted glass
- Cracked sealant or a lifted membrane at the upstand
Common causes we find
Upstand detail
As with lanterns, the membrane must be dressed up and sealed.
Unit failure
Edge seals fail and the unit mists.
Covering Notting Hill and nearby
Drier, sunnier parts of the UK are kinder to seals than the wet west, but strong sun ages sealant, gaskets and plastic end caps, and south- or west-facing lanterns can make rooms very warm. Solar control glass and an opening vent help.
London's extensions are often tight to neighbouring walls and roofs. Where a repair needs access over a neighbour's property, we'll tell you in advance so you can arrange it.
From Westminster to Notting Hill is roughly 3 miles — all part of the Greater London area we cover.
We also cover nearby Shepherds Bush (1 mile), Willesden (2 miles), Fulham (2 miles).
How much should it cost?
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.
