For orangery lantern repairs in Oakham, the job is simple to describe: we repair orangery lanterns, internal gutters and perimeter details on timber and aluminium orangeries. Photos first, a guide price back, then a written fixed price.

We carry out orangery lantern repairs in Oakham and across the LE15 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.

How much should it cost?

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

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.
