What you might be seeing

Common causes we find

UV ageing

Clip failure

Clip-on cappings can lose their grip and lift.

Roof lanterns in Sandown

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.

Coastal wind drives rain hard against lanterns, so cappings and ridge seals on the seaward face take the most punishment.

We cover Sandown by arrangement: island work is planned around ferry access, and any travel or access costs are set out in your written quote before you commit.

How much should it cost?

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

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.
