In High Wycombe, 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
- Leaks at the lantern edge or around the internal pelmet
- Staining on the orangery ceiling
- Rotten or flaking timber on the lantern
Why it happens
Internal gutters
Box gutters around the lantern block and overflow inward.
Timber maintenance
Painted timber orangeries need regular redecoration.

How much should it cost?
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?
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.
