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 Keith (AB55) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.

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?

Large-span movement

Bigger lanterns move more, stressing seals.

Timber maintenance

Painted timber orangeries need regular redecoration.

Covering Keith and nearby

Freeze-thaw cycles open up tired sealant and gaskets faster than mild weather does. A spring check after a hard winter catches most problems before they leak.

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

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.
