Orangery lanterns are larger and often sit within a perimeter roof with internal gutters, so leaks can come from the lantern, the perimeter roof or the junction between them. Send photos from Saltcoats (KA21) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.

Roof lanterns in Saltcoats

Near the coast, salt in the air is hard on aluminium finishes and fixings; washing the frame occasionally and touching in chips keeps corrosion away.
