What you might be seeing

  • Yellowed or brittle end caps

Clip failure

Clip-on cappings can lose their grip and lift.

Blocked drainage

As with all lanterns, blocked eaves drainage causes overflow.

About Dunblane and the FK15 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.

Do you need permission in Scotland?

Straightforward repairs — resealing, gaskets, cappings, eaves and like-for-like parts — don't normally need building regulations approval in Scotland. Replacing the whole lantern or enlarging the opening is different and falls under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004; we confirm in writing which route applies before any replacement. Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent from the planning authority for alterations, with Historic Environment Scotland guidance; check before changing a lantern on a listed property.
