We carry out roof lantern replacement in Northwich and across the CW9 area. We're repair-first, but some lanterns are past it: distorted frames, rot through the main bars, or most of the glass failed.

Why it happens

Timber lanterns left unmaintained.
Roof lanterns in Northwich
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.
We cover Northwich as part of Cheshire, about 16 miles from Chester.
Close by, we also cover Winsford (5 miles), Warrington (10 miles), Runcorn (10 miles).
How much should it cost?
Most roof lantern replacement jobs come in between £1,995 and £4,995 ex VAT (£2,394–£5,994 including 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 England?
Most lantern repairs in England need no approval at all. Where a job turns into a replacement, the Building Regulations 2010 apply and we confirm how the work will be signed off before we start. 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.
