Roof lanterns in Hull
Snow and ice sitting at the eaves can block a lantern's drainage and push water back under the glass as it melts. If your lantern leaks after a thaw rather than after rain, tell us — it points to the eaves and kerb.
Coastal wind drives rain hard against lanterns, so cappings and ridge seals on the seaward face take the most punishment.
Hull is around 8 miles from Beverley, and both are within our East Riding of Yorkshire coverage.
If you're just outside Hull, we also cover Beverley (8 miles), Grimsby (16 miles), Scunthorpe (17 miles).
What should you expect to pay in Hull?
Guide price for roof lantern respraying: £495–£1,295 ex VAT (£594–£1,554 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.
