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 Hampton (TW12) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.

Impact or movement distorts the frame.
About Hampton and the TW12 area
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.
Across London, many lanterns sit on rear extensions with access only through the house, so we protect floors and plan the work to keep time indoors to a minimum. Parking and any permits are factored into the quote.
From Westminster to Hampton is roughly 12 miles — all part of the Greater London area we cover.
Close by, we also cover Hanworth (2 miles), Sunbury-on-Thames (2 miles), Walton-on-Thames (3 miles).
What should you expect to pay in Hampton?
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?
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.

Roof lantern replacement in Hampton: questions
How do I get a price for roof lantern replacement in Hampton?
Send a few photos of the lantern and the problem, with your Hampton postcode. We'll reply with a guide price and tell you whether a visit is needed before we can fix the price.
Can you repair a lantern someone else installed in Hampton?
Yes. We repair lanterns whoever fitted them. If yours is still under the installer's warranty, contact them first so you don't affect it.
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.
