No ventilation

A lantern without opening vents traps warm air at ceiling level.

About Armagh and the BT60 area

Damp, mild winters keep moss and algae growing on flat roofs and lantern frames, which holds water against seals and blocks weep slots. Regular clearing makes a real difference in wetter areas.

Solar control and self-cleaning glass upgrades in Armagh: questions

How do I get a price for solar control and self-cleaning glass upgrades in Armagh?

Send a few photos of the lantern and the problem, with your Armagh postcode. We'll reply with a guide price and tell you whether a visit is needed before we can fix the price.

Can you repair a lantern someone else installed in Armagh?

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.

Can you add a film instead?

Films are cheaper but can affect the unit's warranty and may not suit sloped double glazing. We'd rather replace the unit properly.

Does self-cleaning glass mean no cleaning?

It reduces cleaning on the outer face but still needs rain and occasional rinsing, and the inside still needs cleaning.
