We carry out ridge and hip repairs in Stourport-on-Severn and across the DY13 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
- Sealant around the ridge cap split or missing
- Staining along the hip bars inside
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 Stourport-on-Severn and the DY13 area

What should you expect to pay in Stourport-on-Severn?
Guide price for ridge and hip repairs: £195–£445 ex VAT (£234–£534 inc 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?
Most lantern repairs in England need no approval at all. Where a job turns into a replacement, the Building Regulations 2010 apply and we confirm how the work will be signed off before we start. 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.
