In Tewkesbury, as everywhere, many uPVC roof lanterns have an aluminium core with uPVC cladding and cappings. Send photos and we'll tell you what we think has failed.
What you might be seeing
- Yellowed or brittle end caps
- Cracked cappings or ridge covers
- Green algae along the bars
Common causes we find
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 Tewkesbury
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.
From Gloucester to Tewkesbury is roughly 9 miles — all part of the Gloucestershire area we cover.

How much should it cost?
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 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.
