We carry out roof lantern replacement in Perth and across the PH1 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
- Several misted or cracked units
- Rotten timber throughout
- Repeated leaks after previous repairs
Common causes we find
Age
Older lanterns can't be brought up to modern performance with repairs alone.
Structural damage
Impact or movement distorts the frame.
Roof lanterns in Perth
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.
We also cover nearby Auchterarder (13 miles), Kinross (13 miles), Blairgowrie (14 miles).
What should you expect to pay in Perth?
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?
In Scotland, like-for-like repairs to a roof lantern don't usually involve building control. A full replacement or a bigger opening is controlled under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, so we set out the route in writing first. 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.
