Covering Llanelli and nearby

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.

Near the coast, salt in the air is hard on aluminium finishes and fixings; washing the frame occasionally and touching in chips keeps corrosion away.

Llanelli is around 13 miles from Carmarthen, and both are within our Dyfed coverage.

Neighbouring places we cover include Gorseinon (5 miles), Swansea (10 miles), Ammanford (11 miles).

What should you expect to pay in Llanelli?

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

Typical range: £1,995–£4,995 ex VAT, which is £2,394–£5,994 with 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 Wales?

Most lantern repairs in Wales need no approval at all. Where a job turns into a replacement, the Building Regulations 2010 (as applied in Wales) apply and we confirm how the work will be signed off before we start. Listed buildings in Wales need listed building consent from the local planning authority for alterations, with Cadw guidance on historic buildings; check with the council before changing a lantern on a listed property.

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.
