In Camberley, as everywhere, resealing is the planned, whole-lantern version of a leak repair: we cut out the old, failed sealant, clean every joint back to a sound surface and reseal the cappings, ridge and eaves with materials that suit the frame. Send photos and we'll tell you what we think has failed.
Is it time for roof lantern resealing?
- Cracked, split or shrunken sealant along the bars
- Several small leaks rather than one obvious one
- Sealant applied over sealant from previous patch repairs
Why it happens
Sealant past its life
Exposed sealant on a roof takes UV, frost and constant expansion and contraction. It hardens, loses grip and pulls away from the glass.
Patch over patch
Fresh sealant run over old, dirty sealant rarely bonds. It looks fixed for a season and then lets go.

Even in drier areas, one heavy downpour with blocked eaves is enough to overflow a lantern indoors. Clearing the eaves channel is the simplest prevention there is.
From Guildford to Camberley is roughly 10 miles — all part of the Surrey area we cover.
If you're just outside Camberley, we also cover Sandhurst (2 miles), Farnborough (3 miles), Crowthorne (3 miles).
How much should it cost?
Typical range: £245–£495 ex VAT, which is £294–£594 with VAT, per lantern. 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.
