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 Basingstoke (RG21) 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

Common causes we find
Internal gutters
Box gutters around the lantern block and overflow inward.

Guide prices for orangery lantern repairs in Basingstoke

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.
