Is it time for roof lantern replacement?

  • Several misted or cracked units
  • Distorted or sagging frame
  • Single-glazed or very poor thermal performance

Common causes we find

Age

Older lanterns can't be brought up to modern performance with repairs alone.

Structural damage

Impact or movement distorts the frame.

Covering Crowborough and nearby

Even in drier areas, one heavy downpour with blocked eaves is enough to overflow a lantern indoors. Clearing the eaves channel is the simplest prevention there is.

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.

From Brighton to Crowborough is roughly 21 miles — all part of the East Sussex area we cover.

Close by, we also cover Tunbridge Wells (7 miles), East Grinstead (9 miles), Tonbridge (10 miles).

Guide prices for roof lantern replacement in Crowborough

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 England?

Straightforward repairs — resealing, gaskets, cappings, eaves and like-for-like parts — don't normally need building regulations approval in England. Replacing the whole lantern or enlarging the opening is different and falls under the Building Regulations 2010; we confirm in writing which route applies before any replacement. 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.
