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 from Stourport-on-Severn (DY13) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.
Is it time for roof lantern resealing?
- Black mould or dirt lines trapped in old silicone
- Several small leaks rather than one obvious one
- A lantern that is 8–15 years old and has never been maintained
Common causes we find
Wrong product used
General-purpose or acetoxy silicone can fail early on some frames and coatings. Glazing joints need a low-modulus, compatible sealant.
Patch over patch
Fresh sealant run over old, dirty sealant rarely bonds. It looks fixed for a season and then lets go.
About Stourport-on-Severn and the DY13 area
Leaf fall from garden trees is the most common cause of eaves overflow on suburban extensions. If your lantern sits near trees, clearing the eaves channel each autumn prevents a lot of drips.

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.
