In Jedburgh, as everywhere, if the room under your lantern overheats in summer or glares, the glass is usually the problem, not the frame. Send photos and we'll tell you what we think has failed.

Signs you need solar control and self-cleaning glass upgrades

  • The room is noticeably hotter than the rest of the house in summer
  • Glare on screens or worktops
  • Furniture or flooring fading under the lantern

What usually causes it?

Clear or standard Low-E glass

Standard units let a lot of solar heat through; solar control coatings reflect more of it.

Orientation

South- and west-facing lanterns gain the most heat in the afternoon.

Freeze-thaw cycles open up tired sealant and gaskets faster than mild weather does. A spring check after a hard winter catches most problems before they leak.

Jedburgh is around 14 miles from Galashiels, and both are within our Scottish Borders coverage.

Do you need permission in Scotland?

Most lantern repairs in Scotland need no approval at all. Where a job turns into a replacement, the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 apply and we confirm how the work will be signed off before we start. Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent from the planning authority for alterations, with Historic Environment Scotland guidance; check before changing a lantern on a listed property.
