Roof lanterns in Watford
Leaf fall from garden trees is the most common cause of eaves overflow on suburban extensions. If your lantern sits near trees, clearing the eaves channel each autumn prevents a lot of drips.
Watford is around 7 miles from St Albans, and both are within our Hertfordshire coverage.
Neighbouring places we cover include Bushey (2 miles), Rickmansworth (4 miles), Borehamwood (5 miles).
Do you need permission?
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.
