Roof lanterns in Peterhead

Colder winters mean more frosty mornings, and a roof lantern is often the coldest surface in a warm kitchen — so condensation is as common as genuine leaks. We check which you've got before quoting.

Coastal wind drives rain hard against lanterns, so cappings and ridge seals on the seaward face take the most punishment.
