Roof lanterns in Kilwinning
Damp, mild winters keep moss and algae growing on flat roofs and lantern frames, which holds water against seals and blocks weep slots. Regular clearing makes a real difference in wetter areas.
Coastal wind drives rain hard against lanterns, so cappings and ridge seals on the seaward face take the most punishment.
Kilwinning is around 9 miles from Kilmarnock, and both are within our Ayrshire coverage.
