Why it happens
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.
Covering Canvey Island and nearby
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.
Canvey Island is around 16 miles from Chelmsford, and both are within our Essex coverage.
Close by, we also cover South Benfleet (2 miles), Rayleigh (5 miles), Southend-on-Sea (6 miles).
What should you expect to pay in Canvey Island?
Guide price for leak investigation and inspection: £145–£295 ex VAT (£174–£354 inc 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.
