Flat rooflights fail in the same places as lanterns: the seal to the upstand, the roof junction and the glass unit. Send photos from Weston-super-Mare (BS23) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.

As with lanterns, the membrane must be dressed up and sealed.
Unit failure
Edge seals fail and the unit mists.
About Weston-super-Mare and the BS23 area
Western and upland parts of the UK get more rain and more wind-driven rain than the east, and that's what finds weak cappings and blocked eaves first. Lanterns here benefit from a check of the bars on the most exposed face and a clear eaves channel before winter.
We cover Weston-super-Mare as part of Somerset, about 24 miles from Taunton.
Neighbouring places we cover include Burnham-on-Sea (7 miles), Clevedon (8 miles), Nailsea (11 miles).
What should you expect to pay in Weston-super-Mare?
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.
