About Newbury and the RG14 area
Lanterns in central England see a bit of everything — summer sun that ages seals and end caps, autumn leaf fall that blocks eaves, and frosty mornings that bring condensation. A yearly check covers all three.
We cover Newbury as part of Berkshire, about 16 miles from Reading.
We also cover nearby Thatcham (3 miles), Basingstoke (14 miles), Didcot (15 miles).
How much should it cost?
Guide price for uPVC roof lantern repairs: £175–£595 ex VAT (£210–£714 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?
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.
