Flat rooflights fail in the same places as lanterns: the seal to the upstand, the roof junction and the glass unit. Send photos from Cannock (WS11) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.
Is it time for flat rooflight and skylight repairs?
- Water around the rooflight edge
- Misted glass
- Cracked sealant or a lifted membrane at the upstand
What usually causes it?
No fall
Flat glass needs a slight fall to shed water; ponding stresses seals.
Upstand detail
As with lanterns, the membrane must be dressed up and sealed.
Covering Cannock and nearby
Most inland lantern leaks aren't storm damage; they're usually tired sealant, a lifted capping or blocked eaves drainage. All three are quick to find and fix once you know where to look.
Cannock is around 9 miles from Stafford, and both are within our Staffordshire coverage.
If you're just outside Cannock, we also cover Burntwood (4 miles), Bloxwich (5 miles), Rugeley (6 miles).
How much should it cost?
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.
