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 East Kilbride and nearby

Western and upland parts of the UK get more rain and more wind-driven rain than the east, and that's what finds weak cappings and blocked eaves first. Lanterns here benefit from a check of the bars on the most exposed face and a clear eaves channel before winter.

From Hamilton to East Kilbride is roughly 6 miles — all part of the Lanarkshire area we cover.

If you're just outside East Kilbride, we also cover Cambuslang (3 miles), Rutherglen (5 miles), Hamilton (6 miles).

How much should it cost?

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

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 Scotland?

Straightforward repairs — resealing, gaskets, cappings, eaves and like-for-like parts — don't normally need building regulations approval in Scotland. Replacing the whole lantern or enlarging the opening is different and falls under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004; we confirm in writing which route applies before any replacement. Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent from the planning authority for alterations, with Historic Environment Scotland guidance; check before changing a lantern on a listed property.
