Roof lanterns in Tottenham

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.

Tottenham is around 8 miles from Westminster, and both are within our Greater London coverage.

Neighbouring places we cover include Edmonton (2 miles), Wood Green (2 miles), Walthamstow (2 miles).

Guide prices for roof lantern replacement in Tottenham

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?

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 Tottenham: questions

Can you repair a lantern someone else installed in Tottenham?

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.

Which places near Tottenham do you cover?

As well as Tottenham, we cover nearby Edmonton, Wood Green, Walthamstow, Stamford Hill and the rest of Greater London.

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.
