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 Aldridge (WS9) 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
- Staining on the orangery ceiling
- Rotten or flaking timber on the lantern
Why it happens
Internal gutters
Box gutters around the lantern block and overflow inward.
Timber maintenance
Painted timber orangeries need regular redecoration.
Roof lanterns in Aldridge
Lanterns in central England see a bit of everything — summer sun that ages seals and end caps, autumn leaf fall that blocks eaves, and frosty mornings that bring condensation. A yearly check covers all three.
Urban grime and traffic film dull glass and frames quickly; a clean and seal check makes a tired lantern look and perform much better.
From Birmingham to Aldridge is roughly 9 miles — all part of the West Midlands area we cover.
Close by, we also cover Walsall (3 miles), Bloxwich (4 miles), Sutton Coldfield (5 miles).
How much should it cost?
Typical range: £395–£2,495 ex VAT, which is £474–£2,994 with 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.
