In Hereford, 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.

Is it time for orangery lantern repairs?
- Leaks at the lantern edge or around the internal pelmet
- Rotten or flaking timber on the lantern
- Misted units on a large lantern
Why it happens
Large-span movement
Bigger lanterns move more, stressing seals.
Timber maintenance
Painted timber orangeries need regular redecoration.
Roof lanterns in Hereford
Western and upland parts of the UK get more rain and more wind-driven rain than the east, and that's what finds weak cappings and blocked eaves first. Lanterns here benefit from a check of the bars on the most exposed face and a clear eaves channel before winter.
Neighbouring places we cover include Ross-on-Wye (12 miles), Leominster (12 miles), Ledbury (12 miles).
How much should it cost?
Guide price for orangery lantern repairs: £395–£2,495 ex VAT (£474–£2,994 inc 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?
Most lantern repairs in England need no approval at all. Where a job turns into a replacement, the Building Regulations 2010 apply and we confirm how the work will be signed off before we start. 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.
