We carry out roof lantern replacement in New Milton and across the BH25 area. We're repair-first, but some lanterns are past it: distorted frames, rot through the main bars, or most of the glass failed.

What you might be seeing
- Distorted or sagging frame
- Rotten timber throughout
- Single-glazed or very poor thermal performance
What usually causes it?
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 New Milton
Sun and UV do more damage than rain on many lanterns here: brittle ridge caps, chalky finishes and hardened gaskets. They're cheap to replace before they let water in.
We cover New Milton as part of Hampshire, about 15 miles from Southampton.
Neighbouring places we cover include Christchurch (5 miles), Bournemouth (10 miles), Hythe (14 miles).
How much should it cost?
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?
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.
