Flat rooflights fail in the same places as lanterns: the seal to the upstand, the roof junction and the glass unit. We carry out flat rooflight and skylight repairs across Worcestershire, with a guide price from your photos and a fixed price in writing before any work starts.
Signs you need flat rooflight and skylight repairs
- Water around the rooflight edge

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 Worcestershire
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.
What should you expect to pay for flat rooflight and skylight repairs in Worcestershire?
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?
In England, like-for-like repairs to a roof lantern don't usually involve building control. A full replacement or a bigger opening is controlled under the Building Regulations 2010, so we set out the route in writing first. 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.
