Roof lanterns in Cupar
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.
Near the coast, salt in the air is hard on aluminium finishes and fixings; washing the frame occasionally and touching in chips keeps corrosion away.
We cover Cupar as part of Fife, about 24 miles from Dunfermline.
