Timber roof lanterns are beautiful and repairable, but they need sound paint, sound beads and dry timber. Send photos from Morley (LS27) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.
What you might be seeing
- Flaking or blistered paint on bars or eaves
- Dark staining or black lines along joints
- Putty or beads cracking and lifting
Common causes we find
Paint failure
Once the paint film breaks, water gets into the end grain and joints.
Water trapped by beads
Glazing beads and putty can trap water against the timber if their seals fail.
Roof lanterns in Morley
Damp, mild winters keep moss and algae growing on flat roofs and lantern frames, which holds water against seals and blocks weep slots. Regular clearing makes a real difference in wetter areas.
Urban grime and traffic film dull glass and frames quickly; a clean and seal check makes a tired lantern look and perform much better.
Morley is around 4 miles from Leeds, and both are within our West Yorkshire coverage.

Guide prices for timber roof lantern repairs in Morley
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.
