We carry out roof lantern leak repairs in Dungannon and across the BT70 area. A roof lantern leak is almost always a failed seal, a lifted capping, blocked eaves drainage or a problem where the kerb meets the flat roof — not a failed lantern.
What you might be seeing
- Brown staining or bubbling paint on the plasterboard lining around the lantern
- Water running down the inside face of the glass
- A leak that only appears in wind-driven rain from one direction
Common causes we find
Lifted or misaligned cappings
Top cappings clip or screw over each glazing bar. If one has lifted, been knocked or was never seated, rain gets straight under it.
The kerb or roof junction
If the flat roof membrane isn't dressed high enough up the kerb, or the kerb has no fall, water sits against the joint and finds its way in under the lantern.

Wind-driven rain is the real test of a roof lantern, and the wetter west sees plenty of it. Leaks that appear only in a storm from one direction usually point to the cappings or eaves on that face — a useful clue when you send us photos.

How much should it cost?
Typical range: £195–£595 ex VAT, which is £234–£714 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 Northern Ireland?
Straightforward repairs — resealing, gaskets, cappings, eaves and like-for-like parts — don't normally need building regulations approval in Northern Ireland. Replacing the whole lantern or enlarging the opening is different and falls under the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012; we confirm in writing which route applies before any replacement. 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.
