We carry out orangery lantern repairs in Sandown and across the PO36 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.

What usually causes it?
Internal gutters
Box gutters around the lantern block and overflow inward.

Roof lanterns in Sandown
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.
Coastal wind drives rain hard against lanterns, so cappings and ridge seals on the seaward face take the most punishment.
We cover Sandown by arrangement: island work is planned around ferry access, and any travel or access costs are set out in your written quote before you commit.
Close by, we also cover Ryde (5 miles), Newport, Isle of Wight (7 miles), Cowes (10 miles).
What should you expect to pay in Sandown?
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?
Straightforward repairs — resealing, gaskets, cappings, eaves and like-for-like parts — don't normally need building regulations approval in England. Replacing the whole lantern or enlarging the opening is different and falls under the Building Regulations 2010; we confirm in writing which route applies before any replacement. 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.
