In Warwick, as everywhere, opening vents in roof lanterns are usually driven by a chain actuator on a switch, remote or rain sensor. Send photos and we'll tell you what we think has failed.

Is it time for opening vent and actuator repairs?

  • Vent won't open or close
  • Leaks from around a closed vent

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.

Roof lanterns in Warwick

Leaf fall from garden trees is the most common cause of eaves overflow on suburban extensions. If your lantern sits near trees, clearing the eaves channel each autumn prevents a lot of drips.

We also cover nearby Leamington Spa (3 miles), Kenilworth (5 miles), Stratford-upon-Avon (8 miles).

How much should it cost?

Guide price, per vent£195–£545 ex VAT£234–£654 inc VAT

Typical range: £195–£545 ex VAT, which is £234–£654 with VAT, per vent. 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.
