Many uPVC roof lanterns have an aluminium core with uPVC cladding and cappings. Send photos from Alfreton (DE55) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.

What you might be seeing
- Cracked cappings or ridge covers

- Leaks at the ridge or eaves
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 Alfreton
Snow and ice sitting at the eaves can block a lantern's drainage and push water back under the glass as it melts. If your lantern leaks after a thaw rather than after rain, tell us — it points to the eaves and kerb.

What should you expect to pay in Alfreton?

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.
