Is it time for ridge and hip repairs?

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

Why it happens

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.

Covering Sutton-in-Ashfield and nearby

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.

What should you expect to pay in Sutton-in-Ashfield?

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

Typical range: £195–£445 ex VAT, which is £234–£534 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?

Straightforward repairs — resealing, gaskets, cappings, eaves and like-for-like parts — don't normally need building regulations approval in England. Replacing the whole lantern or enlarging the opening is different and falls under the Building Regulations 2010; we confirm in writing which route applies before any replacement. 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.
