We carry out timber roof lantern repairs in Mold and across the CH7 area. Timber roof lanterns are beautiful and repairable, but they need sound paint, sound beads and dry timber.
Is it time for timber roof lantern repairs?
- Flaking or blistered paint on bars or eaves
- Soft timber when pressed
- Leaks at bar joints
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.
Covering Mold and nearby
Wind-driven rain is the real test of a roof lantern, and the wetter west sees plenty of it. Leaks that appear only in a storm from one direction usually point to the cappings or eaves on that face — a useful clue when you send us photos.
We cover Mold as part of Clwyd, about 10 miles from Wrexham.
Close by, we also cover Buckley (2 miles), Deeside (5 miles), Flint (5 miles).
What should you expect to pay in Mold?
Guide price for timber roof lantern repairs: £395–£1,995 ex VAT (£474–£2,394 inc VAT), per lantern. 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 Wales?
Most lantern repairs in Wales need no approval at all. Where a job turns into a replacement, the Building Regulations 2010 (as applied in Wales) apply and we confirm how the work will be signed off before we start. 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.
