Why it happens
Hidden water paths

More than one fault
Older lanterns often have two or three small failures.

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.
We cover Slough as part of Berkshire, about 17 miles from Reading.
If you're just outside Slough, we also cover Windsor (2 miles), Maidenhead (5 miles), Gerrards Cross (6 miles).
How much should it cost?
Most leak investigation and inspection jobs come in between £145 and £295 ex VAT (£174–£354 including 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?
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.
