In Runcorn, as everywhere, 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 and we'll tell you what we think has failed.

Structural damage

Impact or movement distorts the frame.

Covering Runcorn 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.

From Chester to Runcorn is roughly 12 miles — all part of the Cheshire area we cover.

We also cover nearby Widnes (1 mile), Halewood (4 miles), Huyton (7 miles).

What should you expect to pay in Runcorn?

Guide price, supplied and fitted£1,995–£4,995 ex VAT£2,394–£5,994 inc VAT

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 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.
