Timber roof lanterns are beautiful and repairable, but they need sound paint, sound beads and dry timber. Send photos from Bridlington (YO16) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.
What you might be seeing
- Flaking or blistered paint on bars or eaves
- Dark staining or black lines along joints
- Leaks at bar joints
Common causes we find
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.
About Bridlington and the YO16 area
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 Bridlington?
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?
Straightforward repairs — resealing, gaskets, cappings, eaves and like-for-like parts — don't normally need building regulations approval in England. Replacing the whole lantern or enlarging the opening is different and falls under the Building Regulations 2010; we confirm in writing which route applies before any replacement. 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.
