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 Motherwell (ML1) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.
Signs you need orangery lantern repairs

Why it happens
Internal gutters
Box gutters around the lantern block and overflow inward.
Large-span movement
Bigger lanterns move more, stressing seals.
Roof lanterns in Motherwell
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.
Motherwell is around 2 miles from Hamilton, and both are within our Lanarkshire coverage.
We also cover nearby Bellshill (2 miles), Hamilton (2 miles), Wishaw (3 miles).
Guide prices for orangery lantern repairs in Motherwell

Do you need permission in Scotland?
In Scotland, 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 (Scotland) Regulations 2004, so we set out the route in writing first. Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent from the planning authority for alterations, with Historic Environment Scotland guidance; check before changing a lantern on a listed property.
