In Evesham, 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.

What usually causes it?

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.
