What you might be seeing

  • Green algae along the bars

UV ageing

Blocked drainage

As with all lanterns, blocked eaves drainage causes overflow.

Roof lanterns in Morecambe

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.

From Preston to Morecambe is roughly 22 miles — all part of the Lancashire area we cover.

Close by, we also cover Lancaster (3 miles), Fleetwood (12 miles), Thornton-Cleveleys (15 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 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.
