Many uPVC roof lanterns have an aluminium core with uPVC cladding and cappings. Send photos from Hounslow (TW3) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.

Covering Hounslow 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.
Across London, many lanterns sit on rear extensions with access only through the house, so we protect floors and plan the work to keep time indoors to a minimum. Parking and any permits are factored into the quote.
From Westminster to Hounslow is roughly 10 miles — all part of the Greater London area we cover.
Neighbouring places we cover include Isleworth (1 mile), Heston (1 mile), Richmond (2 miles).
Guide prices for uPVC roof lantern repairs in Hounslow
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?
Straightforward repairs — resealing, gaskets, cappings, eaves and like-for-like parts — don't normally need building regulations approval in England. Replacing the whole lantern or enlarging the opening is different and falls under the Building Regulations 2010; we confirm in writing which route applies before any replacement. 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.
