Covering Didcot and nearby
Most inland lantern leaks aren't storm damage; they're usually tired sealant, a lifted capping or blocked eaves drainage. All three are quick to find and fix once you know where to look.
Didcot is around 10 miles from Oxford, and both are within our Oxfordshire coverage.
If you're just outside Didcot, we also cover Abingdon (5 miles), Oxford (10 miles), Thatcham (14 miles).
Do you need permission?
Most lantern repairs in England need no approval at all. Where a job turns into a replacement, the Building Regulations 2010 apply and we confirm how the work will be signed off before we start. 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.
