In Lincoln, as everywhere, 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 and we'll tell you what we think has failed.

Is it time for roof lantern replacement?

  • Distorted or sagging frame
  • Repeated leaks after previous repairs
  • 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.

Covering Lincoln 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.

Coastal wind drives rain hard against lanterns, so cappings and ridge seals on the seaward face take the most punishment.

We also cover nearby Gainsborough (14 miles), Newark-on-Trent (16 miles), Retford (18 miles).

Guide prices for roof lantern replacement in Lincoln

Guide price, supplied and fitted£1,995–£4,995 ex VAT£2,394–£5,994 inc VAT

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?

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.

Roof lantern replacement in Lincoln: questions

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

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

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.
