Many uPVC roof lanterns have an aluminium core with uPVC cladding and cappings. Send photos from Hexham (NE46) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.
Is it time for uPVC roof lantern repairs?
- Yellowed or brittle end caps
- Green algae along the bars
- Leaks at the ridge or eaves
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.
About Hexham and the NE46 area
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.

How much should it cost?
Typical range: £175–£595 ex VAT, which is £210–£714 with 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?
Most lantern repairs in England need no approval at all. Where a job turns into a replacement, the Building Regulations 2010 apply and we confirm how the work will be signed off before we start. 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.
