Is it time for uPVC roof lantern repairs?

  • Green algae along the bars

Why it happens

UV ageing

uPVC components become brittle and crack after years of sun.

Clip failure

Clip-on cappings can lose their grip and lift.

Covering Newton Abbot 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.

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.

Newton Abbot is around 14 miles from Exeter, and both are within our Devon coverage.

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.
