We carry out orangery lantern repairs in Dover and across the CT16 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 you might be seeing

  • Leaks at the lantern edge or around the internal pelmet
  • Rotten or flaking timber on the lantern
  • Misted units on a large lantern

What usually causes it?

Internal gutters

Box gutters around the lantern block and overflow inward.

Large-span movement

Bigger lanterns move more, stressing seals.

Roof lanterns in Dover

Sun and UV do more damage than rain on many lanterns here: brittle ridge caps, chalky finishes and hardened gaskets. They're cheap to replace before they let water in.

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

From Maidstone to Dover is roughly 36 miles — all part of the Kent area we cover.

Close by, we also cover Folkestone (7 miles), Deal (8 miles), Canterbury (15 miles).

Guide prices for orangery lantern repairs in Dover

Guide price, per lantern£395–£2,495 ex VAT£474–£2,994 inc VAT

Typical range: £395–£2,495 ex VAT, which is £474–£2,994 with 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.
