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.
Covering Camden Town and nearby
Sun and UV do more damage than rain on many lanterns here: brittle ridge caps, chalky finishes and hardened gaskets. They're cheap to replace before they let water in.
London's extensions are often tight to neighbouring walls and roofs. Where a repair needs access over a neighbour's property, we'll tell you in advance so you can arrange it.

What should you expect to pay in Camden Town?
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.
