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 from Blyth (NE24) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.

About Blyth and the NE24 area
Colder winters mean more frosty mornings, and a roof lantern is often the coldest surface in a warm kitchen — so condensation is as common as genuine leaks. We check which you've got before quoting.
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.
From Morpeth to Blyth is roughly 8 miles — all part of the Northumberland area we cover.
Neighbouring places we cover include Ashington (4 miles), Cramlington (4 miles), Whitley Bay (7 miles).
Guide prices for roof lantern replacement in Blyth
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?
Most lantern repairs in England need no approval at all. Where a job turns into a replacement, the Building Regulations 2010 apply and we confirm how the work will be signed off before we start. 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.
