Is it time for uPVC roof lantern repairs?

Common causes we find

uPVC components become brittle and crack after years of sun.
Clip failure
Clip-on cappings can lose their grip and lift.
Covering Shrewsbury and nearby
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.
Neighbouring places we cover include Wellington (10 miles), Telford (13 miles), Oswestry (16 miles).
What should you expect to pay in Shrewsbury?
Guide price for uPVC roof lantern repairs: £175–£595 ex VAT (£210–£714 inc 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.
