What usually causes it?

UV ageing

uPVC components become brittle and crack after years of sun.

Blocked drainage

As with all lanterns, blocked eaves drainage causes overflow.

Roof lanterns in Cheshire

Western and upland parts of the UK get more rain and more wind-driven rain than the east, and that's what finds weak cappings and blocked eaves first. Lanterns here benefit from a check of the bars on the most exposed face and a clear eaves channel before winter.

What should you expect to pay for uPVC roof lantern repairs in Cheshire?

Guide price, per lantern£175–£595 ex VAT£210–£714 inc VAT

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.
