We carry out timber roof lantern repairs in Great Malvern and across the WR14 area. Timber roof lanterns are beautiful and repairable, but they need sound paint, sound beads and dry timber.
Is it time for timber roof lantern repairs?
- Soft timber when pressed
- Dark staining or black lines along 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 Great Malvern and nearby
Leaf fall from garden trees is the most common cause of eaves overflow on suburban extensions. If your lantern sits near trees, clearing the eaves channel each autumn prevents a lot of drips.

What should you expect to pay in Great Malvern?
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.
