We carry out uPVC roof lantern repairs in Blackheath and across the SE3 area. Many uPVC roof lanterns have an aluminium core with uPVC cladding and cappings.
What you might be seeing
- Yellowed or brittle end caps
- Rattling or whistling in wind
- Leaks at the ridge or eaves
Why it happens
UV ageing
uPVC components become brittle and crack after years of sun.
Blocked drainage
As with all lanterns, blocked eaves drainage causes overflow.
About Blackheath and the SE3 area
Sun and UV do more damage than rain on many lanterns here: brittle ridge caps, chalky finishes and hardened gaskets. They're cheap to replace before they let water in.
London's extensions are often tight to neighbouring walls and roofs. Where a repair needs access over a neighbour's property, we'll tell you in advance so you can arrange it.
Blackheath is around 7 miles from Westminster, and both are within our Greater London coverage.

Guide prices for uPVC roof lantern repairs in Blackheath
Guide price for uPVC roof lantern repairs: £175–£595 ex VAT (£210–£714 inc 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.
