Roof lanterns in Highbury

Drier, sunnier parts of the UK are kinder to seals than the wet west, but strong sun ages sealant, gaskets and plastic end caps, and south- or west-facing lanterns can make rooms very warm. Solar control glass and an opening vent help.

London's extensions are often tight to neighbouring walls and roofs. Where a repair needs access over a neighbour's property, we'll tell you in advance so you can arrange it.

We cover Highbury as part of Greater London, about 4 miles from Westminster.

If you're just outside Highbury, we also cover Islington (1 mile), Holloway (1 mile), Stamford Hill (2 miles).

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.

Roof lantern respraying in Highbury: questions

Do you need to visit to price roof lantern respraying?

Not always. Clear photos are often enough for a guide price. Where the cause isn't obvious, a visit to inspect and water-test is charged from £145 ex VAT, confirmed before we come.

Can you repair a lantern someone else installed in Highbury?

Yes. We repair lanterns whoever fitted them. If yours is still under the installer's warranty, contact them first so you don't affect it.

Which colours can you do?

Most RAL colours, including popular anthracite grey (RAL 7016), black and white.

Do you need dry weather?

Yes — spraying needs dry conditions within temperature limits, so we book around the forecast.
