Is it time for uPVC roof lantern repairs?

  • Yellowed or brittle end caps
  • Green algae along the bars

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.

Covering Bangor, Down and nearby

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.

Coastal wind drives rain hard against lanterns, so cappings and ridge seals on the seaward face take the most punishment.

We also cover nearby Newtownards (5 miles), Holywood (6 miles), Carrickfergus (7 miles).
