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.
Covering Denbigh 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.

Do you need permission in Wales?
In Wales, 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 (as applied in Wales), so we set out the route in writing first. Listed buildings in Wales need listed building consent from the local planning authority for alterations, with Cadw guidance on historic buildings; check with the council before changing a lantern on a listed property.
