Why it happens
Clip failure
Clip-on cappings can lose their grip and lift.
Blocked drainage
As with all lanterns, blocked eaves drainage causes overflow.
Roof lanterns in Lisburn
Wind-driven rain is the real test of a roof lantern, and the wetter west sees plenty of it. Leaks that appear only in a storm from one direction usually point to the cappings or eaves on that face — a useful clue when you send us photos.
Near the coast, salt in the air is hard on aluminium finishes and fixings; washing the frame occasionally and touching in chips keeps corrosion away.
We cover Lisburn as part of County Antrim, about 7 miles from Belfast.
Neighbouring places we cover include Belfast (7 miles), Newtownabbey (11 miles), Holywood (12 miles).
What should you expect to pay in Lisburn?
Most uPVC roof lantern repairs jobs come in between £175 and £595 ex VAT (£210–£714 including 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 Northern Ireland?
In Northern Ireland, 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 (Northern Ireland) 2012, so we set out the route in writing first. Listed buildings in Northern Ireland need listed building consent from the council for alterations; check with the council's planning service before changing a lantern on a listed property.
