What you might be seeing

  • Flaking or blistered paint on bars or eaves
  • Soft timber when pressed
  • Dark staining or black lines along joints

Why it happens

Paint failure

Once the paint film breaks, water gets into the end grain and joints.

Water trapped by beads

Glazing beads and putty can trap water against the timber if their seals fail.

Roof lanterns in Fraserburgh

Colder winters mean more frosty mornings, and a roof lantern is often the coldest surface in a warm kitchen — so condensation is as common as genuine leaks. We check which you've got before quoting.

Coastal wind drives rain hard against lanterns, so cappings and ridge seals on the seaward face take the most punishment.

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.
