Signs you need roof lantern leak repairs

  • Drips from a glazing bar or the eaves beam when it rains
  • Brown staining or bubbling paint on the plasterboard lining around the lantern
  • A leak that only appears in wind-driven rain from one direction

What usually causes it?

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.

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.

Most inland lantern leaks aren't storm damage; they're usually tired sealant, a lifted capping or blocked eaves drainage. All three are quick to find and fix once you know where to look.

What should you expect to pay for roof lantern leak repairs in Nottinghamshire?

Guide price, per lantern£195–£595 ex VAT£234–£714 inc VAT

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 England?

Straightforward repairs — resealing, gaskets, cappings, eaves and like-for-like parts — don't normally need building regulations approval in England. Replacing the whole lantern or enlarging the opening is different and falls under the Building Regulations 2010; we confirm in writing which route applies before any replacement. 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.
