In Rhyl, as everywhere, some leaks are obvious; many aren't. Send photos and we'll tell you what we think has failed.
What you might be seeing
- 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
What usually causes it?
Hidden water paths
Water can travel along bars, decks and linings before it shows.
Not the lantern
Sometimes the source is the flat roof, a parapet, a gutter or a wall above.
About Rhyl and the LL18 area
Wind-driven rain is the real test of a roof lantern, and the wetter west sees plenty of it. Leaks that appear only in a storm from one direction usually point to the cappings or eaves on that face — a useful clue when you send us photos.
Rhyl is around 28 miles from Wrexham, and both are within our Clwyd coverage.
We also cover nearby Prestatyn (4 miles), Abergele (4 miles), Colwyn Bay (10 miles).
What should you expect to pay in Rhyl?
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 Wales?
Most lantern repairs in Wales need no approval at all. Where a job turns into a replacement, the Building Regulations 2010 (as applied in Wales) apply and we confirm how the work will be signed off before we start. Listed buildings in Wales need listed building consent from the local planning authority for alterations, with Cadw guidance on historic buildings; check with the council before changing a lantern on a listed property.
