Timber roof lanterns are beautiful and repairable, but they need sound paint, sound beads and dry timber. Send photos from Fleetwood (FY7) 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
  • Soft timber when pressed
  • Leaks at bar joints

What usually causes it?

Paint failure

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

Water trapped by beads

Glazing beads and putty can trap water against the timber if their seals fail.

Roof lanterns in Fleetwood

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.

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.
