In Stoke-on-Trent, 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.
Is it time for orangery lantern repairs?
- Leaks at the lantern edge or around the internal pelmet
- Staining on the orangery ceiling
- Rotten or flaking timber on the lantern
Why it happens
Large-span movement
Bigger lanterns move more, stressing seals.
Timber maintenance
Painted timber orangeries need regular redecoration.

How much should it cost?

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.
