What you might be seeing

  • Dark staining or black lines along joints
  • Putty or beads cracking and lifting
  • Leaks at bar joints

Common causes we find

Paint failure

Once the paint film breaks, water gets into the end grain and joints.

No maintenance

Timber needs redecorating on a cycle; skipped cycles turn small repairs into big ones.

Covering Accrington and nearby

Western and upland parts of the UK get more rain and more wind-driven rain than the east, and that's what finds weak cappings and blocked eaves first. Lanterns here benefit from a check of the bars on the most exposed face and a clear eaves channel before winter.

From Preston to Accrington is roughly 14 miles — all part of the Lancashire area we cover.

What should you expect to pay in Accrington?

Guide price, per lantern£395–£1,995 ex VAT£474–£2,394 inc VAT

Typical range: £395–£1,995 ex VAT, which is £474–£2,394 with 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?

In England, 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, so we set out the route in writing first. 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.
