In Basingstoke, 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
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.
About Basingstoke and the RG21 area
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.
Basingstoke is around 28 miles from Southampton, and both are within our Hampshire coverage.
Close by, we also cover Fleet (11 miles), Thatcham (12 miles), Yateley (12 miles).
What should you expect to pay in Basingstoke?
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?
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.
