In Yateley, as everywhere, 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. Send photos and we'll tell you what we think has failed.

Signs you need roof lantern leak repairs

  • Drips from a glazing bar or the eaves beam when it rains
  • Water running down the inside face of the glass
  • Damp patches on the ceiling a short distance from the lantern

What usually causes it?

Failed silicone or glazing tape

UV and thermal movement break down the seal between capping, gasket and glass. Once a gap opens, water tracks along the bar and drops at the lowest point.

Blocked eaves drainage

Most lanterns collect water in a channel inside the eaves beam and let it out through weep slots. Leaves, moss and grit block the slots and the channel overflows indoors.

Covering Yateley and nearby

Even in drier areas, one heavy downpour with blocked eaves is enough to overflow a lantern indoors. Clearing the eaves channel is the simplest prevention there is.

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.

Roof lantern leak repairs in Yateley: questions

Do you cover Yateley?

Yes. We cover Yateley, including the GU46 postcode area, as part of Hampshire. 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 Yateley?

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.

Can you fix the leak in the rain?

We can make the lantern safe in wet weather, but sealants and tapes need a dry, clean surface to bond, so permanent repairs are done in a dry window.

Will you show me what was wrong?

Yes. We photograph the failed detail and the finished repair and send them to you with the invoice.
