Clip failure
Clip-on cappings can lose their grip and lift.
About Blackpool and the FY1 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.
Blackpool is around 15 miles from Preston, and both are within our Lancashire coverage.
If you're just outside Blackpool, we also cover Thornton-Cleveleys (4 miles), Lytham St Annes (6 miles), Fleetwood (8 miles).
Guide prices for uPVC roof lantern repairs in Blackpool
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?
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.
