Why it happens
No fall
Flat glass needs a slight fall to shed water; ponding stresses seals.
Unit failure
Edge seals fail and the unit mists.

Guide prices for flat rooflight and skylight repairs in Sutton-in-Ashfield
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.
