Roof lantern replacement in Porthcawl: questions

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

Send a few photos of the lantern and the problem, with your Porthcawl postcode. We'll reply with a guide price and tell you whether a visit is needed before we can fix the price.

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.

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.
