We carry out roof lantern replacement in Hyde and across the SK14 area. We're repair-first, but some lanterns are past it: distorted frames, rot through the main bars, or most of the glass failed.

Signs you need roof lantern replacement
- Several misted or cracked units
- Distorted or sagging frame
- Single-glazed or very poor thermal performance
Common causes we find
Age
Older lanterns can't be brought up to modern performance with repairs alone.
Rot
Timber lanterns left unmaintained.
Covering Hyde and nearby
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.
From Manchester to Hyde is roughly 7 miles — all part of the Greater Manchester area we cover.

What should you expect to pay in Hyde?
Typical range: £1,995–£4,995 ex VAT, which is £2,394–£5,994 with 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.
