What usually causes it?

Age

Structural damage

Impact or movement distorts the frame.

Roof lanterns in Jarrow

Snow and ice sitting at the eaves can block a lantern's drainage and push water back under the glass as it melts. If your lantern leaks after a thaw rather than after rain, tell us — it points to the eaves and kerb.

Urban grime and traffic film dull glass and frames quickly; a clean and seal check makes a tired lantern look and perform much better.

We cover Jarrow as part of Tyne and Wear, about 5 miles from Newcastle upon Tyne.

Guide prices for roof lantern replacement in Jarrow

Guide price, supplied and fitted£1,995–£4,995 ex VAT£2,394–£5,994 inc VAT

Guide price for roof lantern replacement: £1,995–£4,995 ex VAT (£2,394–£5,994 inc 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.

Roof lantern replacement in Jarrow: questions

Do you need to visit to price roof lantern replacement?

Not always. Clear photos are often enough for a guide price. Where the cause isn't obvious, a visit to inspect and water-test is charged from £145 ex VAT, confirmed before we come.

Can you repair a lantern someone else installed in Jarrow?

Yes. We repair lanterns whoever fitted them. If yours is still under the installer's warranty, contact them first so you don't affect it.

How much does a replacement roof lantern cost?

Standard sizes typically £1,995–£4,995 ex VAT supplied and fitted; bespoke sizes and kerb rebuilds are priced on survey. You get the fixed price in writing first.

Will you tell me if repair is enough?

Yes. We'd rather do a repair that works than sell a lantern you don't need.
