What you might be seeing

  • Gasket rubber poking out, cracked or missing
  • Water running down one glazing bar inside
  • Rattling or whistling in wind

What usually causes it?

Fixings working loose

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

Damage

Ladders, window cleaning or someone stepping on a lantern can bend a capping or unclip it.

About Hebburn and the NE31 area

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.

In built-up areas, access is often the hardest part of the job — through the house, over a neighbour's roof, or with parking restrictions. We plan access in advance and price any tower or scaffold into the quote.

From Newcastle upon Tyne to Hebburn is roughly 4 miles — all part of the Tyne and Wear area we cover.

We also cover nearby Jarrow (1 mile), Wallsend (1 mile), Gateshead (4 miles).

Guide price for glazing bar and capping repairs: £165–£395 ex VAT (£198–£474 inc 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 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.

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.
