In Salisbury, as everywhere, flat rooflights fail in the same places as lanterns: the seal to the upstand, the roof junction and the glass unit. Send photos and we'll tell you what we think has failed.
Is it time for flat rooflight and skylight repairs?
- Misted glass
- Ponding on the glass (not enough fall)
- Cracked sealant or a lifted membrane at the upstand
Why it happens
Upstand detail
As with lanterns, the membrane must be dressed up and sealed.
Unit failure
Edge seals fail and the unit mists.

Leaf fall from garden trees is the most common cause of eaves overflow on suburban extensions. If your lantern sits near trees, clearing the eaves channel each autumn prevents a lot of drips.
We cover Salisbury as part of Wiltshire, about 34 miles from Swindon.

Guide prices for flat rooflight and skylight repairs in Salisbury
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?
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.
