We carry out flat rooflight and skylight repairs in Pudsey and across the LS28 area. Flat rooflights fail in the same places as lanterns: the seal to the upstand, the roof junction and the glass unit.
Signs you need 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.
Unit failure
Edge seals fail and the unit mists.
Roof lanterns in Pudsey
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.
Urban grime and traffic film dull glass and frames quickly; a clean and seal check makes a tired lantern look and perform much better.
Pudsey is around 5 miles from Leeds, and both are within our West Yorkshire coverage.
We also cover nearby Bradford (4 miles), Morley (5 miles), Leeds (5 miles).
What should you expect to pay in Pudsey?
Most flat rooflight and skylight repairs jobs come in between £195 and £595 ex VAT (£234–£714 including 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?
Straightforward repairs — resealing, gaskets, cappings, eaves and like-for-like parts — don't normally need building regulations approval in England. Replacing the whole lantern or enlarging the opening is different and falls under the Building Regulations 2010; we confirm in writing which route applies before any replacement. 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.

Flat rooflight and skylight repairs in Pudsey: questions
How do I get a price for flat rooflight and skylight repairs in Pudsey?
Send a few photos of the lantern and the problem, with your Pudsey postcode. We'll reply with a guide price and tell you whether a visit is needed before we can fix the price.
Can you repair a lantern someone else installed in Pudsey?
Yes. We repair lanterns whoever fitted them. If yours is still under the installer's warranty, contact them first so you don't affect it.
Do you replace walk-on rooflight glass?
Walk-on glass is a specialist structural unit; we can measure and specify a replacement from the right manufacturer.

Our focus is flat rooflights and lanterns; pitched roof windows are a different trade and we'll say so if that's what you have.
