Roof lanterns in Wimbledon
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.
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.

What should you expect to pay in Wimbledon?
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?
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.
