Roof lanterns in Cheadle Hulme

Western and upland parts of the UK get more rain and more wind-driven rain than the east, and that's what finds weak cappings and blocked eaves first. Lanterns here benefit from a check of the bars on the most exposed face and a clear eaves channel before winter.

Urban grime and traffic film dull glass and frames quickly; a clean and seal check makes a tired lantern look and perform much better.

Guide price for roof lantern replacement: £1,995–£4,995 ex VAT (£2,394–£5,994 inc 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?

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.

Roof lantern replacement in Cheadle Hulme: questions

How do I get a price for roof lantern replacement in Cheadle Hulme?

Send a few photos of the lantern and the problem, with your Cheadle Hulme 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 Cheadle Hulme?

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.
