Signs you need timber roof lantern repairs

  • 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.

Water trapped by beads

Glazing beads and putty can trap water against the timber if their seals fail.

Covering Yeadon and nearby

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.

What should you expect to pay in Yeadon?

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?

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.
