We carry out timber roof lantern repairs in Kidsgrove and across the ST7 area. Timber roof lanterns are beautiful and repairable, but they need sound paint, sound beads and dry timber.

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.
About Kidsgrove and the ST7 area
Lanterns in central England see a bit of everything — summer sun that ages seals and end caps, autumn leaf fall that blocks eaves, and frosty mornings that bring condensation. A yearly check covers all three.
We cover Kidsgrove as part of Staffordshire, about 20 miles from Stafford.
Close by, we also cover Congleton (5 miles), Newcastle-under-Lyme (6 miles), Stoke-on-Trent (6 miles).
Guide prices for timber roof lantern repairs in Kidsgrove
Guide price for timber roof lantern repairs: £395–£1,995 ex VAT (£474–£2,394 inc 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?
Straightforward repairs — resealing, gaskets, cappings, eaves and like-for-like parts — don't normally need building regulations approval in England. Replacing the whole lantern or enlarging the opening is different and falls under the Building Regulations 2010; we confirm in writing which route applies before any replacement. 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.
