Is it time for timber roof lantern repairs?

  • Flaking or blistered paint on bars or eaves
  • Soft timber when pressed
  • Leaks at bar joints

Common causes we find

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 Grimsby and nearby

Even in drier areas, one heavy downpour with blocked eaves is enough to overflow a lantern indoors. Clearing the eaves channel is the simplest prevention there is.

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.

Grimsby is around 30 miles from Lincoln, and both are within our Lincolnshire coverage.

We also cover nearby Cleethorpes (2 miles), Hull (16 miles), Scunthorpe (24 miles).

Guide prices for timber roof lantern repairs in Grimsby

Most timber roof lantern repairs jobs come in between £395 and £1,995 ex VAT (£474–£2,394 including 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.
