We carry out orangery lantern repairs in Corby and across the NN17 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
- Staining on the orangery ceiling
- 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 Corby and nearby
Leaf fall from garden trees is the most common cause of eaves overflow on suburban extensions. If your lantern sits near trees, clearing the eaves channel each autumn prevents a lot of drips.
From Northampton to Corby is roughly 19 miles — all part of the Northamptonshire area we cover.
Close by, we also cover Uppingham (6 miles), Kettering (7 miles), Market Harborough (10 miles).
How much should it cost?
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?
In England, 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 Regulations 2010, so we set out the route in writing first. 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.
