We carry out ridge and hip repairs in Evesham and across the WR11 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.

What you might be seeing

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

What usually causes it?

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 Evesham and the WR11 area

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.

Guide prices for ridge and hip repairs in Evesham

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

Most ridge and hip repairs jobs come in between £195 and £445 ex VAT (£234–£534 including 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.
