We carry out roof lantern replacement in Troon and across the KA10 area. We're repair-first, but some lanterns are past it: distorted frames, rot through the main bars, or most of the glass failed.
What you might be seeing
- Distorted or sagging frame
- Rotten timber throughout
- Repeated leaks after previous repairs
Why it happens
Age
Older lanterns can't be brought up to modern performance with repairs alone.
Rot
Timber lanterns left unmaintained.
Roof lanterns in Troon
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.
From Kilmarnock to Troon is roughly 8 miles — all part of the Ayrshire area we cover.

What should you expect to pay in Troon?
Guide price for roof lantern replacement: £1,995–£4,995 ex VAT (£2,394–£5,994 inc 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?
Most lantern repairs in Scotland need no approval at all. Where a job turns into a replacement, the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 apply and we confirm how the work will be signed off before we start. 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.
