Covering Stourbridge and nearby
Lanterns in central England see a bit of everything — summer sun that ages seals and end caps, autumn leaf fall that blocks eaves, and frosty mornings that bring condensation. A yearly check covers all three.
In built-up areas, access is often the hardest part of the job — through the house, over a neighbour's roof, or with parking restrictions. We plan access in advance and price any tower or scaffold into the quote.
We cover Stourbridge as part of West Midlands, about 10 miles from Birmingham.
We also cover nearby Brierley Hill (2 miles), Kingswinford (3 miles), Dudley (4 miles).
Guide prices for roof lantern replacement in Stourbridge
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.

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 the new lantern use the existing opening?
Usually, if the kerb is sound and the size suits a standard or made-to-measure lantern.
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.
