Can you repair a lantern someone else installed in Wishaw?
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?

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.
