In Truro, 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.

Why it happens

Internal gutters

Box gutters around the lantern block and overflow inward.

Timber maintenance

Painted timber orangeries need regular redecoration.

Roof lanterns in Truro

Damp, mild winters keep moss and algae growing on flat roofs and lantern frames, which holds water against seals and blocks weep slots. Regular clearing makes a real difference in wetter areas.

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

If you're just outside Truro, we also cover Falmouth (8 miles), Redruth (8 miles), Newquay (10 miles).

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.
