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
Older lanterns can't be brought up to modern performance with repairs alone.
Structural damage
Impact or movement distorts the frame.
Covering Coleraine and nearby
