We carry out orangery lantern repairs in Thurso and across the KW14 area. 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.

Signs you need orangery lantern repairs

What usually causes it?

Large-span movement

Bigger lanterns move more, stressing seals.

Timber maintenance

Painted timber orangeries need regular redecoration.

Covering Thurso 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.

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

Close by, we also cover Wick (19 miles), Kirkwall (34 miles).
