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 Andover (SP10) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.

What you might be seeing
- Rotten timber throughout
- Repeated leaks after previous repairs
- Single-glazed or very poor thermal performance
Why it happens

Covering Andover and nearby
Drier, sunnier parts of the UK are kinder to seals than the wet west, but strong sun ages sealant, gaskets and plastic end caps, and south- or west-facing lanterns can make rooms very warm. Solar control glass and an opening vent help.
Andover is around 22 miles from Southampton, and both are within our Hampshire coverage.
If you're just outside Andover, we also cover Winchester (13 miles), Newbury (15 miles), Salisbury (16 miles).
What should you expect to pay in Andover?
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?
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 Andover: questions
Do you need to visit to price roof lantern replacement?
Not always. Clear photos are often enough for a guide price. Where the cause isn't obvious, a visit to inspect and water-test is charged from £145 ex VAT, confirmed before we come.
Which places near Andover do you cover?
As well as Andover, we cover nearby Winchester, Newbury, Salisbury, Thatcham and the rest of Hampshire.
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.
