Flat rooflights fail in the same places as lanterns: the seal to the upstand, the roof junction and the glass unit. Send photos from Wolverhampton (WV1) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.
What you might be seeing
- Water around the rooflight edge
- Misted glass
- Cracked sealant or a lifted membrane at the upstand
Common causes we find
Upstand detail
As with lanterns, the membrane must be dressed up and sealed.
Unit failure
Edge seals fail and the unit mists.
Covering Wolverhampton 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.
Urban grime and traffic film dull glass and frames quickly; a clean and seal check makes a tired lantern look and perform much better.
Wolverhampton is around 12 miles from Birmingham, and both are within our West Midlands coverage.
If you're just outside Wolverhampton, we also cover Wednesfield (2 miles), Willenhall (3 miles), Tipton (5 miles).
How much should it cost?
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.
