Signs you need uPVC roof lantern repairs

  • Yellowed or brittle end caps

What usually causes it?

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 Glasgow and Clyde

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.

Urban grime and traffic film dull glass and frames quickly; a clean and seal check makes a tired lantern look and perform much better.

Do you need permission in Scotland?

In Scotland, 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 (Scotland) Regulations 2004, so we set out the route in writing first. Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent from the planning authority for alterations, with Historic Environment Scotland guidance; check before changing a lantern on a listed property.
