In Harlow, as everywhere, we're repair-first, but some lanterns are past it: distorted frames, rot through the main bars, or most of the glass failed. Send photos and we'll tell you what we think has failed.

What should you expect to pay in Harlow?

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.

Do you cover Harlow?

Yes. We cover Harlow, including the CM17 postcode area, as part of Essex. Send photos by WhatsApp or the form for a free guide price, and we'll confirm the fixed price in writing before any work starts.

Do you need to visit to price roof lantern replacement?

Not always. Clear photos are often enough for a guide price. Where the cause isn't obvious, a visit to inspect and water-test is charged from £145 ex VAT, confirmed before we come.

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.
