In Yeadon, 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.

Why it happens
Orientation
South- and west-facing lanterns gain the most heat in the afternoon.
No ventilation
A lantern without opening vents traps warm air at ceiling level.
Covering Yeadon and nearby
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.
In built-up areas, access is often the hardest part of the job — through the house, over a neighbour's roof, or with parking restrictions. We plan access in advance and price any tower or scaffold into the quote.
From Leeds to Yeadon is roughly 7 miles — all part of the West Yorkshire area we cover.
If you're just outside Yeadon, we also cover Guiseley (1 mile), Shipley (4 miles), Pudsey (5 miles).
What should you expect to pay in Yeadon?
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?
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.
