We carry out roof lantern replacement in Keith and across the AB55 area. We're repair-first, but some lanterns are past it: distorted frames, rot through the main bars, or most of the glass failed.

Is it time for roof lantern replacement?
- 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.
About Keith and the AB55 area
Freeze-thaw cycles open up tired sealant and gaskets faster than mild weather does. A spring check after a hard winter catches most problems before they leak.
Near the coast, salt in the air is hard on aluminium finishes and fixings; washing the frame occasionally and touching in chips keeps corrosion away.
We cover Keith as part of Moray, about 16 miles from Elgin.

What should you expect to pay in Keith?
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 Scotland?
Most lantern repairs in Scotland need no approval at all. Where a job turns into a replacement, the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 apply and we confirm how the work will be signed off before we start. Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent from the planning authority for alterations, with Historic Environment Scotland guidance; check before changing a lantern on a listed property.
