Flat rooflights fail in the same places as lanterns: the seal to the upstand, the roof junction and the glass unit. We carry out flat rooflight and skylight repairs across Shropshire, with a guide price from your photos and a fixed price in writing before any work starts.

Signs you need flat rooflight and skylight repairs
- Water around the rooflight edge
- Misted glass
- Ponding on the glass (not enough fall)
What usually causes it?
No fall
Flat glass needs a slight fall to shed water; ponding stresses seals.
Unit failure
Edge seals fail and the unit mists.
Roof lanterns in Shropshire
Wind-driven rain is the real test of a roof lantern, and the wetter west sees plenty of it. Leaks that appear only in a storm from one direction usually point to the cappings or eaves on that face — a useful clue when you send us photos.
What should you expect to pay for flat rooflight and skylight repairs in Shropshire?
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?
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.
