We carry out timber roof lantern repairs in Farnham and across the GU9 area. Timber roof lanterns are beautiful and repairable, but they need sound paint, sound beads and dry timber.
What you might be seeing
- Flaking or blistered paint on bars or eaves
- Putty or beads cracking and lifting
- Leaks at bar joints
Common causes we find
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 Farnham 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.
Farnham is around 10 miles from Guildford, and both are within our Surrey coverage.
Neighbouring places we cover include Aldershot (3 miles), Fleet (5 miles), Farnborough (6 miles).
What should you expect to pay in Farnham?
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?
Most lantern repairs in England need no approval at all. Where a job turns into a replacement, the Building Regulations 2010 apply and we confirm how the work will be signed off before we start. 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.
