We carry out uPVC roof lantern repairs in Cricklewood and across the NW2 area. Many uPVC roof lanterns have an aluminium core with uPVC cladding and cappings.
What you might be seeing
- Cracked cappings or ridge covers
- Green algae along the bars
- Leaks at the ridge or eaves
What usually causes it?
UV ageing
uPVC components become brittle and crack after years of sun.
Clip failure
Clip-on cappings can lose their grip and lift.
Covering Cricklewood and nearby
Even in drier areas, one heavy downpour with blocked eaves is enough to overflow a lantern indoors. Clearing the eaves channel is the simplest prevention there is.
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.
Cricklewood is around 5 miles from Westminster, and both are within our Greater London coverage.

What should you expect to pay in Cricklewood?
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?
In England, 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 Regulations 2010, so we set out the route in writing first. 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.
