Covering Northampton and nearby
Most inland lantern leaks aren't storm damage; they're usually tired sealant, a lifted capping or blocked eaves drainage. All three are quick to find and fix once you know where to look.
Neighbouring places we cover include Wellingborough (9 miles), Daventry (12 miles), Rushden (12 miles).
How much should it cost?
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?
In England, like-for-like repairs to a roof lantern don't usually involve building control. A full replacement or a bigger opening is controlled under the Building Regulations 2010, so we set out the route in writing first. 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.
