We carry out uPVC roof lantern repairs in Pudsey and across the LS28 area. Many uPVC roof lanterns have an aluminium core with uPVC cladding and cappings.
What you might be seeing
- Yellowed or brittle end caps
- Cracked cappings or ridge covers
- Green algae along the bars
Why it happens
UV ageing
uPVC components become brittle and crack after years of sun.
Clip failure
Clip-on cappings can lose their grip and lift.
About Pudsey and the LS28 area
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 Pudsey as part of West Yorkshire, about 5 miles from Leeds.
Close by, we also cover Bradford (4 miles), Morley (5 miles), Leeds (5 miles).
Guide prices for uPVC roof lantern repairs in Pudsey
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?
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.
