We carry out roof lantern resealing in Nuneaton and across the CV11 area. 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.
Signs you need roof lantern resealing
- Cracked, split or shrunken sealant along the bars
- Black mould or dirt lines trapped in old silicone
- Several small leaks rather than one obvious one
Common causes we find
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.
Covering Nuneaton and nearby
Most inland lantern leaks aren't storm damage; they're usually tired sealant, a lifted capping or blocked eaves drainage. All three are quick to find and fix once you know where to look.

How much should it cost?
Guide price for roof lantern resealing: £245–£495 ex VAT (£294–£594 inc 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?
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.
