We carry out roof lantern replacement in South Croydon and across the CR0 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?
- Several misted or cracked units
- Distorted or sagging frame
- Repeated leaks after previous repairs
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.
Roof lanterns in South Croydon
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.
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.
South Croydon is around 10 miles from Westminster, and both are within our Greater London coverage.
We also cover nearby Croydon (1 mile), Purley (2 miles), Wallington (3 miles).
How much should it cost?
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.
