Many uPVC roof lanterns have an aluminium core with uPVC cladding and cappings. Send photos from Wednesfield (WV11) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.
What you might be seeing
- Yellowed or brittle end caps

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.
Covering Wednesfield and nearby
Lanterns in central England see a bit of everything — summer sun that ages seals and end caps, autumn leaf fall that blocks eaves, and frosty mornings that bring condensation. A yearly check covers all three.
In built-up areas, access is often the hardest part of the job — through the house, over a neighbour's roof, or with parking restrictions. We plan access in advance and price any tower or scaffold into the quote.
From Birmingham to Wednesfield is roughly 11 miles — all part of the West Midlands area we cover.

Guide prices for uPVC roof lantern repairs in Wednesfield
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?
In England, like-for-like repairs to a roof lantern don't usually involve building control. A full replacement or a bigger opening is controlled under the Building Regulations 2010, so we set out the route in writing first. 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.
