In Brighouse, as everywhere, many uPVC roof lanterns have an aluminium core with uPVC cladding and cappings. Send photos and we'll tell you what we think has failed.
What you might be seeing
- Yellowed or brittle end caps
- Rattling or whistling in wind
- Leaks at the ridge or eaves
Common causes we find
Clip failure
Clip-on cappings can lose their grip and lift.
Blocked drainage
As with all lanterns, blocked eaves drainage causes overflow.
Covering Brighouse 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.
Urban grime and traffic film dull glass and frames quickly; a clean and seal check makes a tired lantern look and perform much better.
We cover Brighouse as part of West Yorkshire, about 12 miles from Leeds.
Close by, we also cover Halifax (3 miles), Cleckheaton (3 miles), Huddersfield (4 miles).
How much should it cost?
Most uPVC roof lantern repairs jobs come in between £175 and £595 ex VAT (£210–£714 including 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?
Straightforward repairs — resealing, gaskets, cappings, eaves and like-for-like parts — don't normally need building regulations approval in England. Replacing the whole lantern or enlarging the opening is different and falls under the Building Regulations 2010; we confirm in writing which route applies before any replacement. 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.
