About Lisburn and the BT27 area

Western and upland parts of the UK get more rain and more wind-driven rain than the east, and that's what finds weak cappings and blocked eaves first. Lanterns here benefit from a check of the bars on the most exposed face and a clear eaves channel before winter.

Coastal wind drives rain hard against lanterns, so cappings and ridge seals on the seaward face take the most punishment.

Lisburn is around 7 miles from Belfast, and both are within our County Antrim coverage.

Close by, we also cover Belfast (7 miles), Newtownabbey (11 miles), Holywood (12 miles).

Do you need permission in Northern Ireland?

Straightforward repairs — resealing, gaskets, cappings, eaves and like-for-like parts — don't normally need building regulations approval in Northern Ireland. Replacing the whole lantern or enlarging the opening is different and falls under the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012; we confirm in writing which route applies before any replacement. Listed buildings in Northern Ireland need listed building consent from the council for alterations; check with the council's planning service before changing a lantern on a listed property.
