Roof lantern replacement in Magherafelt: questions

Can you repair a lantern someone else installed in Magherafelt?

Yes. We repair lanterns whoever fitted them. If yours is still under the installer's warranty, contact them first so you don't affect it.

Which places near Magherafelt do you cover?

As well as Magherafelt, we cover nearby Cookstown, Ballymena, Antrim, Dungannon and the rest of County Londonderry.

Can the new lantern use the existing opening?

Usually, if the kerb is sound and the size suits a standard or made-to-measure lantern.

Will you tell me if repair is enough?

Yes. We'd rather do a repair that works than sell a lantern you don't need.
