We carry out roof lantern replacement in Canary Wharf and across the E14 area. We're repair-first, but some lanterns are past it: distorted frames, rot through the main bars, or most of the glass failed.
Is it time for roof lantern replacement?
- Rotten timber throughout
- Repeated leaks after previous repairs
- Single-glazed or very poor thermal performance
Why it happens
Age
Older lanterns can't be brought up to modern performance with repairs alone.
Structural damage
Impact or movement distorts the frame.
Covering Canary Wharf and nearby
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.
London's extensions are often tight to neighbouring walls and roofs. Where a repair needs access over a neighbour's property, we'll tell you in advance so you can arrange it.
We cover Canary Wharf as part of Greater London, about 5 miles from Westminster.
If you're just outside Canary Wharf, we also cover Bow (1 mile), Canning Town (2 miles), Greenwich (2 miles).
Guide prices for roof lantern replacement in Canary Wharf
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?
In England, 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 2010, so we set out the route in writing first. 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.
