Timber roof lanterns are beautiful and repairable, but they need sound paint, sound beads and dry timber. Send photos from Abergele (LL22) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.

Why it happens
Water trapped by beads
Glazing beads and putty can trap water against the timber if their seals fail.
No maintenance
Timber needs redecorating on a cycle; skipped cycles turn small repairs into big ones.
