What you might be seeing

  • Green algae along the bars
  • 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.

Covering Monmouth and nearby

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.

Monmouth is around 20 miles from Newport, Gwent, and both are within our Gwent coverage.

We also cover nearby Chepstow (12 miles), Abergavenny (13 miles), Pontypool (16 miles).

How much should it cost?

Guide price, per lantern£175–£595 ex VAT£210–£714 inc VAT

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 Wales?

In Wales, 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 (as applied in Wales), so we set out the route in writing first. Listed buildings in Wales need listed building consent from the local planning authority for alterations, with Cadw guidance on historic buildings; check with the council before changing a lantern on a listed property.
