Orangery lantern repairs in Cardiff

We cover Cardiff and the wider South Glamorgan area for orangery lantern repairs. In short, we repair orangery lanterns, internal gutters and perimeter details on timber and aluminium orangeries — and you know the price before any work begins.

In Cardiff, as everywhere, 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 and we'll tell you what we think has failed.

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

Do you need permission in Wales?

Straightforward repairs — resealing, gaskets, cappings, eaves and like-for-like parts — don't normally need building regulations approval in Wales. Replacing the whole lantern or enlarging the opening is different and falls under the Building Regulations 2010 (as applied in Wales); we confirm in writing which route applies before any replacement. Listed buildings in Wales need listed building consent from the local planning authority for alterations, with Cadw guidance on historic buildings; check with the council before changing a lantern on a listed property.
