We carry out roof lantern replacement in Lossiemouth and across the IV31 area. We're repair-first, but some lanterns are past it: distorted frames, rot through the main bars, or most of the glass failed.

  • Rotten timber throughout

Why it happens

Age

Older lanterns can't be brought up to modern performance with repairs alone.

Structural damage

Impact or movement distorts the frame.

Covering Lossiemouth and nearby

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.

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

From Elgin to Lossiemouth is roughly 5 miles — all part of the Moray area we cover.
