Covering Hitchin and nearby
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.
From St Albans to Hitchin is roughly 14 miles — all part of the Hertfordshire area we cover.
We also cover nearby Letchworth Garden City (3 miles), Stevenage (5 miles), Luton (7 miles).
What should you expect to pay in Hitchin?
Typical range: £495–£2,995 ex VAT, which is £594–£3,594 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.
