Signs you need timber roof lantern repairs

  • Flaking or blistered paint on bars or eaves
  • Soft timber when pressed
  • Dark staining or black lines along joints

Why it happens

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 Tonypandy 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.

We cover Tonypandy as part of Mid Glamorgan, about 10 miles from Bridgend.

Do you need permission in Wales?

In Wales, 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 (as applied in Wales), so we set out the route in writing first. Listed buildings in Wales need listed building consent from the local planning authority for alterations, with Cadw guidance on historic buildings; check with the council before changing a lantern on a listed property.
