In Crieff, as everywhere, each glazing bar on a roof lantern has a top capping that clamps the glass onto gaskets. Send photos and we'll tell you what we think has failed.

What you might be seeing

  • A capping visibly higher than its neighbours
  • Gasket rubber poking out, cracked or missing
  • End caps missing at the bottom of a bar

Common causes we find

Gasket shrinkage

Rubber gaskets shrink back from the ends over time, leaving a gap at the ridge or eaves.

Fixings working loose

Screws and clips that hold the capping relax with thermal movement, so the clamp on the glass weakens.

Covering Crieff and nearby

Colder winters mean more frosty mornings, and a roof lantern is often the coldest surface in a warm kitchen — so condensation is as common as genuine leaks. We check which you've got before quoting.

From Perth to Crieff is roughly 16 miles — all part of the Perth and Kinross area we cover.

If you're just outside Crieff, we also cover Auchterarder (7 miles), Dunblane (14 miles), Perth (16 miles).

How much should it cost?

Guide price, per lantern£165–£395 ex VAT£198–£474 inc VAT

Typical range: £165–£395 ex VAT, which is £198–£474 with VAT, per lantern. 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 Scotland?

Most lantern repairs in Scotland need no approval at all. Where a job turns into a replacement, the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 apply and we confirm how the work will be signed off before we start. Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent from the planning authority for alterations, with Historic Environment Scotland guidance; check before changing a lantern on a listed property.

Do you cover Crieff?

Yes. We cover Crieff, including the PH7 postcode area, as part of Perth and Kinross. Send photos by WhatsApp or the form for a free guide price, and we'll confirm the fixed price in writing before any work starts.

How do I get a price for glazing bar and capping repairs in Crieff?

Send a few photos of the lantern and the problem, with your Crieff postcode. We'll reply with a guide price and tell you whether a visit is needed before we can fix the price.

Can a capping just be clipped back on?

Sometimes, if nothing underneath has failed. We check the gaskets first, because clipping a capping over a perished gasket doesn't stop the leak.

Do you repair uPVC and timber lantern bars too?

Yes. Timber lanterns use different beads and cappings, and we repair those as part of timber lantern repairs.
