In Tewkesbury, as everywhere, some leaks are obvious; many aren't. Send photos and we'll tell you what we think has failed.
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
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.
Covering Tewkesbury and nearby
Damp, mild winters keep moss and algae growing on flat roofs and lantern frames, which holds water against seals and blocks weep slots. Regular clearing makes a real difference in wetter areas.
We cover Tewkesbury as part of Gloucestershire, about 9 miles from Gloucester.
Neighbouring places we cover include Cheltenham (7 miles), Gloucester (9 miles), Great Malvern (11 miles).
How much should it cost?
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?
In England, like-for-like repairs to a roof lantern don't usually involve building control. A full replacement or a bigger opening is controlled under the Building Regulations 2010, so we set out the route in writing first. 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.
