We carry out timber roof lantern repairs in Llantwit Major and across the CF61 area. Timber roof lanterns are beautiful and repairable, but they need sound paint, sound beads and dry timber.
Signs you need timber roof lantern repairs
- Flaking or blistered paint on bars or eaves
- Soft timber when pressed
- Putty or beads cracking and lifting
Why it happens
Water trapped by beads
Glazing beads and putty can trap water against the timber if their seals fail.
No maintenance
Timber needs redecorating on a cycle; skipped cycles turn small repairs into big ones.
Covering Llantwit Major 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.

Do you need permission in Wales?
Most lantern repairs in Wales need no approval at all. Where a job turns into a replacement, the Building Regulations 2010 (as applied in Wales) apply and we confirm how the work will be signed off before we start. 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.
