We're repair-first, but some lanterns are past it: distorted frames, rot through the main bars, or most of the glass failed. Send photos from Inverurie (AB51) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.

Why it happens
Age
Older lanterns can't be brought up to modern performance with repairs alone.
Structural damage
Impact or movement distorts the frame.
Covering Inverurie and nearby
Colder winters mean more frosty mornings, and a roof lantern is often the coldest surface in a warm kitchen — so condensation is as common as genuine leaks. We check which you've got before quoting.
Coastal wind drives rain hard against lanterns, so cappings and ridge seals on the seaward face take the most punishment.
From Aberdeen to Inverurie is roughly 14 miles — all part of the Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire area we cover.

Guide prices for roof lantern replacement in Inverurie
Typical range: £1,995–£4,995 ex VAT, which is £2,394–£5,994 with VAT, supplied and fitted. 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 Scotland?
In Scotland, 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 (Scotland) Regulations 2004, so we set out the route in writing first. Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent from the planning authority for alterations, with Historic Environment Scotland guidance; check before changing a lantern on a listed property.

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 the new lantern use the existing opening?
Usually, if the kerb is sound and the size suits a standard or made-to-measure lantern.
Will you tell me if repair is enough?
Yes. We'd rather do a repair that works than sell a lantern you don't need.
