We carry out flat rooflight and skylight repairs in Burnham-on-Sea and across the TA8 area. Flat rooflights fail in the same places as lanterns: the seal to the upstand, the roof junction and the glass unit.

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

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 Burnham-on-Sea

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.

Burnham-on-Sea is around 16 miles from Taunton, and both are within our Somerset coverage.

What should you expect to pay in Burnham-on-Sea?

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

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.
