We carry out roof lantern leak repairs in Pudsey and across the LS28 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.
Is it time for 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
- Water running down the inside face of the glass
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.
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 Pudsey 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.
Urban grime and traffic film dull glass and frames quickly; a clean and seal check makes a tired lantern look and perform much better.
We cover Pudsey as part of West Yorkshire, about 5 miles from Leeds.

What should you expect to pay in Pudsey?
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?
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.
