Roof lantern replacement in Coleraine

We cover Coleraine and the wider County Londonderry area for roof lantern replacement. In short, we replace lanterns that are beyond economic repair, checking the kerb and re-making the junction — and you know the price before any work begins.

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 Coleraine (BT51) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.

Why it happens

Age

Structural damage

Impact or movement distorts the frame.

Covering Coleraine and nearby

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 Coleraine as part of County Londonderry, about 27 miles from Derry~Londonderry.
