Orangery lantern repairs in Uxbridge

If you're in Uxbridge and dealing with a leaking orangery roof, we can help. We repair orangery lanterns, internal gutters and perimeter details on timber and aluminium orangeries, and confirm the fixed price in writing before we start.

In Uxbridge, 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

  • 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.

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.

Across London, many lanterns sit on rear extensions with access only through the house, so we protect floors and plan the work to keep time indoors to a minimum. Parking and any permits are factored into the quote.

From Westminster to Uxbridge is roughly 15 miles — all part of the Greater London area we cover.

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?

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.
