In Beverley, as everywhere, timber roof lanterns are beautiful and repairable, but they need sound paint, sound beads and dry timber. Send photos and we'll tell you what we think has failed.
What you might be seeing
- Flaking or blistered paint on bars or eaves
- Soft timber when pressed
- Putty or beads cracking and lifting
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 Beverley
Freeze-thaw cycles open up tired sealant and gaskets faster than mild weather does. A spring check after a hard winter catches most problems before they leak.
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.

What should you expect to pay in Beverley?
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 England?
Most lantern repairs in England need no approval at all. Where a job turns into a replacement, the Building Regulations 2010 apply and we confirm how the work will be signed off before we start. Listed buildings need listed building consent from the local council for alterations, and conservation areas can have extra controls; like-for-like repairs are treated differently from changes, so check with the council's conservation officer first.
