Signs you need uPVC roof lantern repairs

  • Yellowed or brittle end caps
  • Cracked cappings or ridge covers
  • Leaks at the ridge or eaves

Why it happens

UV ageing

uPVC components become brittle and crack after years of sun.

Clip failure

Clip-on cappings can lose their grip and lift.

Covering Forres and nearby

Freeze-thaw cycles open up tired sealant and gaskets faster than mild weather does. A spring check after a hard winter catches most problems before they leak.

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

From Elgin to Forres is roughly 12 miles — all part of the Moray area we cover.
