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 from Stalybridge (SK15) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.

What you might be seeing
- Staining on the orangery ceiling
- Rotten or flaking timber on the lantern
- Misted units on a large lantern
Common causes we find
Internal gutters
Box gutters around the lantern block and overflow inward.
Timber maintenance
Painted timber orangeries need regular redecoration.
Covering Stalybridge and nearby
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.
Urban grime and traffic film dull glass and frames quickly; a clean and seal check makes a tired lantern look and perform much better.

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.
