Roof lantern replacement in Cricklewood

If you're in Cricklewood and dealing with a lantern that's past repair, we can help. We replace lanterns that are beyond economic repair, checking the kerb and re-making the junction, and confirm the fixed price in writing before we start.

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 from Cricklewood (NW2) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.

About Cricklewood and the NW2 area

Drier, sunnier parts of the UK are kinder to seals than the wet west, but strong sun ages sealant, gaskets and plastic end caps, and south- or west-facing lanterns can make rooms very warm. Solar control glass and an opening vent help.

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.

From Westminster to Cricklewood is roughly 5 miles — all part of the Greater London area we cover.

We also cover nearby Kilburn (1 mile), Willesden (2 miles), Chalk Farm (3 miles).

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.
