In Pontefract, 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.

Signs you need roof lantern replacement

  • Distorted or sagging frame
  • Rotten timber throughout
  • Repeated leaks after previous repairs

Why it happens

Age

Older lanterns can't be brought up to modern performance with repairs alone.

Structural damage

Impact or movement distorts the frame.

Covering Pontefract and nearby

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.

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

Pontefract is around 12 miles from Leeds, and both are within our West Yorkshire coverage.

Neighbouring places we cover include Castleford (3 miles), Wakefield (8 miles), Ossett (11 miles).

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.

Roof lantern replacement in Pontefract: questions

Can you repair a lantern someone else installed in Pontefract?

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.

Which places near Pontefract do you cover?

As well as Pontefract, we cover nearby Castleford, Wakefield, Ossett, Selby and the rest of West Yorkshire.

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.
