We carry out ridge and hip repairs in Blairgowrie and across the PH10 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?

  • A cracked or faded ridge end cap
  • 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.

About Blairgowrie and the PH10 area

Colder winters mean more frosty mornings, and a roof lantern is often the coldest surface in a warm kitchen — so condensation is as common as genuine leaks. We check which you've got before quoting.

Blairgowrie is around 14 miles from Perth, and both are within our Perth and Kinross coverage.

Do you need permission in Scotland?

In Scotland, 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 (Scotland) Regulations 2004, so we set out the route in writing first. Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent from the planning authority for alterations, with Historic Environment Scotland guidance; check before changing a lantern on a listed property.

Ridge and hip repairs in Blairgowrie: questions

Do you cover Blairgowrie?

Yes. We cover Blairgowrie, including the PH10 postcode area, as part of Perth and Kinross. Send photos by WhatsApp or the form for a free guide price, and we'll confirm the fixed price in writing before any work starts.

Can you repair a lantern someone else installed in Blairgowrie?

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.

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.

Can you replace just the ridge cap?

Yes, if a compatible cap is available and the seals underneath are sound.
