In Brighouse, as everywhere, 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 and we'll tell you what we think has failed.

- Repeated leaks after previous repairs

Roof lanterns in Brighouse
Western and upland parts of the UK get more rain and more wind-driven rain than the east, and that's what finds weak cappings and blocked eaves first. Lanterns here benefit from a check of the bars on the most exposed face and a clear eaves channel before winter.
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.
Brighouse is around 12 miles from Leeds, and both are within our West Yorkshire coverage.
Close by, we also cover Halifax (3 miles), Cleckheaton (3 miles), Huddersfield (4 miles).
What should you expect to pay in Brighouse?
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.
