We carry out uPVC roof lantern repairs in Chester and across the CH1 area. Many uPVC roof lanterns have an aluminium core with uPVC cladding and cappings.
What you might be seeing
- Yellowed or brittle end caps
- Green algae along the bars
- Leaks at the ridge or eaves
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 Chester and the CH1 area
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.
If you're just outside Chester, we also cover Ellesmere Port (6 miles), Halewood (12 miles), Bebington (12 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?
Most lantern repairs in England need no approval at all. Where a job turns into a replacement, the Building Regulations 2010 apply and we confirm how the work will be signed off before we start. 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.
