In High Wycombe, as everywhere, many uPVC roof lanterns have an aluminium core with uPVC cladding and cappings. Send photos and we'll tell you what we think has failed.
What you might be seeing
- Yellowed or brittle end caps
- Cracked cappings or ridge covers
- Rattling or whistling in wind
Common causes we find
UV ageing
uPVC components become brittle and crack after years of sun.
Clip failure
Clip-on cappings can lose their grip and lift.
About High Wycombe and the HP13 area
Most inland lantern leaks aren't storm damage; they're usually tired sealant, a lifted capping or blocked eaves drainage. All three are quick to find and fix once you know where to look.
From Aylesbury to High Wycombe is roughly 13 miles — all part of the Buckinghamshire area we cover.

What should you expect to pay in High Wycombe?
Typical range: £175–£595 ex VAT, which is £210–£714 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?
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.
