If the room under your lantern overheats in summer or glares, the glass is usually the problem, not the frame. Send photos from Epsom (KT17) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.

Is it time for solar control and self-cleaning glass upgrades?

  • Glare on screens or worktops
  • Furniture or flooring fading under the lantern
  • Clear, uncoated glass in an older lantern

Common causes we find

Clear or standard Low-E glass

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

No ventilation

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

Covering Epsom and nearby

Sun and UV do more damage than rain on many lanterns here: brittle ridge caps, chalky finishes and hardened gaskets. They're cheap to replace before they let water in.

Epsom is around 15 miles from Guildford, and both are within our Surrey coverage.

If you're just outside Epsom, we also cover Ewell (2 miles), Banstead (3 miles), Sutton (3 miles).

How much should it cost?

Guide price, per glass unit£345–£895 ex VAT£414–£1,074 inc VAT

Typical range: £345–£895 ex VAT, which is £414–£1,074 with VAT, per glass unit. 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?

Most lantern repairs in England need no approval at all. Where a job turns into a replacement, the Building Regulations 2010 apply and we confirm how the work will be signed off before we start. 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.

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

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

Send a few photos of the lantern and the problem, with your Epsom 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 Epsom?

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.

How much does it cost to upgrade lantern glass?

Usually £345–£895 ex VAT per unit depending on size and specification, confirmed in writing before work starts.

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.
