We carry out roof lantern leak repairs in Weston-super-Mare and across the BS23 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

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.

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.

Covering Weston-super-Mare and nearby

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.

From Taunton to Weston-super-Mare is roughly 24 miles — all part of the Somerset area we cover.

Guide prices for roof lantern leak repairs in Weston-super-Mare

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

Most roof lantern leak repairs jobs come in between £195 and £595 ex VAT (£234–£714 including 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.

Roof lantern leak repairs in Weston-super-Mare: questions

Do you need to visit to price roof lantern leak repairs?

Not always. Clear photos are often enough for a guide price. Where the cause isn't obvious, a visit to inspect and water-test is charged from £145 ex VAT, confirmed before we come.

Can you repair a lantern someone else installed in Weston-super-Mare?

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.
