Roof lanterns in Christchurch

Sun and UV do more damage than rain on many lanterns here: brittle ridge caps, chalky finishes and hardened gaskets. They're cheap to replace before they let water in.

Coastal wind drives rain hard against lanterns, so cappings and ridge seals on the seaward face take the most punishment.

Christchurch is around 4 miles from Bournemouth, and both are within our Dorset coverage.

Guide prices for roof lantern replacement in Christchurch

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

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 England?

Most lantern repairs in England need no approval at all. Where a job turns into a replacement, the Building Regulations 2010 apply and we confirm how the work will be signed off before we start. 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.
