We carry out uPVC roof lantern repairs in Llandrindod Wells and across the LD1 area. Many uPVC roof lanterns have an aluminium core with uPVC cladding and cappings.

What you might be seeing
- Cracked cappings or ridge covers
- Green algae along the bars
- Leaks at the ridge or eaves
Why it happens
Clip failure
Clip-on cappings can lose their grip and lift.
Blocked drainage
As with all lanterns, blocked eaves drainage causes overflow.
Roof lanterns in Llandrindod Wells
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 Newtown to Llandrindod Wells is roughly 19 miles — all part of the Powys area we cover.
If you're just outside Llandrindod Wells, we also cover Newtown (19 miles), Brecon (20 miles), Welshpool (30 miles).
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 Wales?
Straightforward repairs — resealing, gaskets, cappings, eaves and like-for-like parts — don't normally need building regulations approval in Wales. Replacing the whole lantern or enlarging the opening is different and falls under the Building Regulations 2010 (as applied in Wales); we confirm in writing which route applies before any replacement. Listed buildings in Wales need listed building consent from the local planning authority for alterations, with Cadw guidance on historic buildings; check with the council before changing a lantern on a listed property.
