We carry out roof lantern leak repairs in Newark-on-Trent and across the NG24 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.

Rainwater running down an internal glazing bar of a roof lantern above a kitchen

What you might be seeing

  • Water running down the inside face of the glass
  • Damp patches on the ceiling a short distance from the lantern
  • A leak that only appears in wind-driven rain from one direction

Why it happens

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.

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.

Roof lanterns in Newark-on-Trent

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 roof lantern leak repairs in Newark-on-Trent

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.
