In Egham, as everywhere, timber roof lanterns are beautiful and repairable, but they need sound paint, sound beads and dry timber. Send photos and we'll tell you what we think has failed.

What you might be seeing

  • Soft timber when pressed
  • Putty or beads cracking and lifting
  • Leaks at bar 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 Egham and nearby

Drier, sunnier parts of the UK are kinder to seals than the wet west, but strong sun ages sealant, gaskets and plastic end caps, and south- or west-facing lanterns can make rooms very warm. Solar control glass and an opening vent help.

We cover Egham as part of Surrey, about 14 miles from Guildford.

What should you expect to pay in Egham?

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?

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.
