What you might be seeing

  • Water running down one glazing bar inside
  • Rattling or whistling in wind
  • End caps missing at the bottom of a bar

Common causes we find

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.

Covering Droitwich and nearby

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.

Droitwich is around 6 miles from Worcester, and both are within our Worcestershire coverage.

What should you expect to pay in Droitwich?

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 England?

Most lantern repairs in England need no approval at all. Where a job turns into a replacement, the Building Regulations 2010 apply and we confirm how the work will be signed off before we start. 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.
