Is it time for leak investigation and inspection?

  • The leak moves around or is intermittent
  • You're not sure if it's a leak or condensation
  • You need a written report for a landlord, insurer or builder

Why it happens

More than one fault

Older lanterns often have two or three small failures.

Not the lantern

Sometimes the source is the flat roof, a parapet, a gutter or a wall above.

About March and the PE15 area

Even in drier areas, one heavy downpour with blocked eaves is enough to overflow a lantern indoors. Clearing the eaves channel is the simplest prevention there is.

From Cambridge to March is roughly 24 miles — all part of the Cambridgeshire area we cover.

We also cover nearby Wisbech (8 miles), Ely (13 miles), Peterborough (14 miles).

Guide prices for leak investigation and inspection in March

Guide price, per visit£145–£295 ex VAT£174–£354 inc VAT

Typical range: £145–£295 ex VAT, which is £174–£354 with 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?

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.
