Roof lanterns in Windsor

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.

We cover Windsor as part of Berkshire, about 16 miles from Reading.

Neighbouring places we cover include Slough (2 miles), Egham (4 miles), Staines (5 miles).

How much should it cost?

Guide price, per visit£195–£395 ex VAT£234–£474 inc VAT

Typical range: £195–£395 ex VAT, which is £234–£474 with VAT, per visit. 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.
