Roof lanterns in Christchurch

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.

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

How much should it cost?

Guide price, per lantern£495–£1,295 ex VAT£594–£1,554 inc VAT

Most roof lantern respraying jobs come in between £495 and £1,295 ex VAT (£594–£1,554 including 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.
