We carry out roof lantern replacement in Strabane and across the BT82 area. We're repair-first, but some lanterns are past it: distorted frames, rot through the main bars, or most of the glass failed.
Signs you need roof lantern replacement
- Distorted or sagging frame
- Repeated leaks after previous repairs
- Single-glazed or very poor thermal performance
Why it happens

Timber lanterns left unmaintained.
Roof lanterns in Strabane
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 Omagh to Strabane is roughly 17 miles — all part of the County Tyrone area we cover.
Neighbouring places we cover include Derry~Londonderry (14 miles), Omagh (17 miles), Limavady (26 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 Northern Ireland?
In Northern Ireland, 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 (Northern Ireland) 2012, so we set out the route in writing first. Listed buildings in Northern Ireland need listed building consent from the council for alterations; check with the council's planning service before changing a lantern on a listed property.
