We carry out timber roof lantern repairs in Pembroke Dock and across the SA72 area. Timber roof lanterns are beautiful and repairable, but they need sound paint, sound beads and dry timber.
Signs you need timber roof lantern repairs
- Flaking or blistered paint on bars or eaves
- Putty or beads cracking and lifting
- 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.
Roof lanterns in Pembroke Dock
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.
Near the coast, salt in the air is hard on aluminium finishes and fixings; washing the frame occasionally and touching in chips keeps corrosion away.
We cover Pembroke Dock as part of Dyfed, about 29 miles from Carmarthen.

Guide prices for timber roof lantern repairs in Pembroke Dock

Do you need permission in Wales?
Straightforward repairs — resealing, gaskets, cappings, eaves and like-for-like parts — don't normally need building regulations approval in Wales. Replacing the whole lantern or enlarging the opening is different and falls under the Building Regulations 2010 (as applied in Wales); we confirm in writing which route applies before any replacement. 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.
