Why it happens

Power or control faults

Transformers, control units, switches and remotes fail; we check these first.

Seal or hinge problems

A twisted hinge or worn seal stops the vent closing tight.

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.
