Why it happens

Hidden water paths

Water can travel along bars, decks and linings before it shows.

More than one fault

Older lanterns often have two or three small failures.

Roof lanterns in Bridlington

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.

Coastal wind drives rain hard against lanterns, so cappings and ridge seals on the seaward face take the most punishment.

From Beverley to Bridlington is roughly 19 miles — all part of the East Riding of Yorkshire area we cover.

Guide prices for leak investigation and inspection in Bridlington

Guide price for leak investigation and inspection: £145–£295 ex VAT (£174–£354 inc VAT), per visit. 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.
