We carry out ridge and hip repairs in Llandudno and across the LL30 area. The ridge is where the hip bars and glazing bars meet at the top of a lantern, usually under a moulded or pressed end cap.

Is it time for ridge and hip repairs?

  • Drips near the centre or top of the lantern
  • A cracked or faded ridge end cap
  • Sealant around the ridge cap split or missing

Common causes we find

Movement at the junction

Several bars meet at one point and each moves slightly with temperature; the seals at the ridge take the strain.

Poor original sealing

Ridge details are fiddly. If the original sealing was rushed, it's often the first place to leak.

About Llandudno and the LL30 area

Damp, mild winters keep moss and algae growing on flat roofs and lantern frames, which holds water against seals and blocks weep slots. Regular clearing makes a real difference in wetter areas.

What should you expect to pay in Llandudno?

Guide price, per lantern£195–£445 ex VAT£234–£534 inc VAT

Do you need permission in Wales?

In Wales, 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 (as applied in Wales), so we set out the route in writing first. 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.

Ridge and hip repairs in Llandudno: questions

Yes. We repair lanterns whoever fitted them. If yours is still under the installer's warranty, contact them first so you don't affect it.

What does a ridge repair cost?

Usually £195–£445 ex VAT for a standard lantern, confirmed in writing before work starts.

My ridge cap is a different colour from the frame — does that matter?

Faded or chalky caps are a sign of UV damage. Colour alone isn't a leak, but brittle caps crack, so we check them.
