We carry out orangery lantern repairs in Ely and across the CB7 area. 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.

Why it happens
Large-span movement
Bigger lanterns move more, stressing seals.

About Ely and the CB7 area
Even in drier areas, one heavy downpour with blocked eaves is enough to overflow a lantern indoors. Clearing the eaves channel is the simplest prevention there is.
From Cambridge to Ely is roughly 15 miles — all part of the Cambridgeshire area we cover.

How much should it cost?
Typical range: £395–£2,495 ex VAT, which is £474–£2,994 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?
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.
