We carry out timber roof lantern repairs in Lytham St Annes and across the FY8 area. Timber roof lanterns are beautiful and repairable, but they need sound paint, sound beads and dry timber.

What you might be seeing

  • Flaking or blistered paint on bars or eaves
  • Dark staining or black lines along joints
  • Putty or beads cracking and lifting

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.

Covering Lytham St Annes and nearby

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.

Lytham St Annes is around 12 miles from Preston, and both are within our Lancashire coverage.

We also cover nearby Blackpool (6 miles), Southport (7 miles), Thornton-Cleveleys (9 miles).

How much should it cost?

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?

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.
