We carry out uPVC roof lantern repairs in Ledbury and across the HR8 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
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 Ledbury and the HR8 area
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.
Ledbury is around 12 miles from Hereford, and both are within our Herefordshire coverage.
Close by, we also cover Great Malvern (7 miles), Ross-on-Wye (10 miles), Tewkesbury (12 miles).
How much should it cost?
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?
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.
