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. We carry out roof lantern leak repairs across Staffordshire, with a guide price from your photos and a fixed price in writing before any work starts.

Signs you need roof lantern leak repairs

  • Brown staining or bubbling paint on the plasterboard lining around the lantern
  • 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?

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.

Leaf fall from garden trees is the most common cause of eaves overflow on suburban extensions. If your lantern sits near trees, clearing the eaves channel each autumn prevents a lot of drips.

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.
