In Slough, as everywhere, 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 and we'll tell you what we think has failed.

What you might be seeing

  • Rotten or flaking timber on the lantern

Common causes we find

Internal gutters

Box gutters around the lantern block and overflow inward.

Large-span movement

Bigger lanterns move more, stressing seals.

Roof lanterns in Slough

Most inland lantern leaks aren't storm damage; they're usually tired sealant, a lifted capping or blocked eaves drainage. All three are quick to find and fix once you know where to look.

How much should it cost?

Guide price, per lantern£395–£2,495 ex VAT£474–£2,994 inc VAT

Most orangery lantern repairs jobs come in between £395 and £2,495 ex VAT (£474–£2,994 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.
