Is it time for uPVC roof lantern repairs?

  • Cracked cappings or ridge covers
  • Rattling or whistling in wind
  • Leaks at the ridge or eaves

What usually causes it?

Clip failure

Clip-on cappings can lose their grip and lift.

Blocked drainage

As with all lanterns, blocked eaves drainage causes overflow.

Covering Kirkby 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.

Urban grime and traffic film dull glass and frames quickly; a clean and seal check makes a tired lantern look and perform much better.

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

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.
