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. Send photos from Lurgan (BT66) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.

Ridge end cap and hip bars at the top of an anthracite aluminium roof lantern

What you might be seeing

  • Drips near the centre or top of the lantern
  • Sealant around the ridge cap split or missing
  • Staining along the hip bars inside

Common causes we find

UV-damaged end caps

Plastic ridge end caps become brittle and crack, especially on south-facing lanterns.

Poor original sealing

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

Roof lanterns in Lurgan

Western and upland parts of the UK get more rain and more wind-driven rain than the east, and that's what finds weak cappings and blocked eaves first. Lanterns here benefit from a check of the bars on the most exposed face and a clear eaves channel before winter.

Lurgan is around 16 miles from Armagh, and both are within our County Armagh coverage.

Do you need permission in Northern Ireland?

In Northern Ireland, 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 (Northern Ireland) 2012, so we set out the route in writing first. Listed buildings in Northern Ireland need listed building consent from the council for alterations; check with the council's planning service before changing a lantern on a listed property.

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