Is it time for leak investigation and inspection?

  • Previous repairs haven't stopped the leak
  • The leak moves around or is intermittent

Common causes we find

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 Cupar and the KY15 area

Freeze-thaw cycles open up tired sealant and gaskets faster than mild weather does. A spring check after a hard winter catches most problems before they leak.

Near the coast, salt in the air is hard on aluminium finishes and fixings; washing the frame occasionally and touching in chips keeps corrosion away.

Cupar is around 24 miles from Dunfermline, and both are within our Fife coverage.

We also cover nearby Leven (8 miles), St Andrews (8 miles), Dundee (10 miles).

Do you need permission in Scotland?

Straightforward repairs — resealing, gaskets, cappings, eaves and like-for-like parts — don't normally need building regulations approval in Scotland. Replacing the whole lantern or enlarging the opening is different and falls under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004; we confirm in writing which route applies before any replacement. Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent from the planning authority for alterations, with Historic Environment Scotland guidance; check before changing a lantern on a listed property.
