We carry out roof lantern replacement in Harrogate and across the HG1 area. We're repair-first, but some lanterns are past it: distorted frames, rot through the main bars, or most of the glass failed.

What you might be seeing
- Distorted or sagging frame
- Repeated leaks after previous repairs
- Single-glazed or very poor thermal performance
Common causes we find
Age
Older lanterns can't be brought up to modern performance with repairs alone.
Rot
Timber lanterns left unmaintained.
Roof lanterns in Harrogate
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.
From York to Harrogate is roughly 19 miles — all part of the North Yorkshire area we cover.
We also cover nearby Yeadon (11 miles), Guiseley (11 miles), Leeds (13 miles).
How much should it cost?
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?
Straightforward repairs — resealing, gaskets, cappings, eaves and like-for-like parts — don't normally need building regulations approval in England. Replacing the whole lantern or enlarging the opening is different and falls under the Building Regulations 2010; we confirm in writing which route applies before any replacement. 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.
