Is it time for glazing bar and capping repairs?

  • A capping visibly higher than its neighbours
  • Gasket rubber poking out, cracked or missing
  • Water running down one glazing bar inside

Why it happens

Gasket shrinkage

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

Damage

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

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.

What should you expect to pay in Bromsgrove?

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

Most glazing bar and capping repairs jobs come in between £165 and £395 ex VAT (£198–£474 including 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?

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.
