We carry out leak investigation and inspection in Cricklewood and across the NW2 area. Some leaks are obvious; many aren't.

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
Why it happens
Hidden water paths
Water can travel along bars, decks and linings before it shows.
More than one fault
Older lanterns often have two or three small failures.
Roof lanterns in Cricklewood
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.
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.
We cover Cricklewood as part of Greater London, about 5 miles from Westminster.
If you're just outside Cricklewood, we also cover Kilburn (1 mile), Willesden (2 miles), Chalk Farm (3 miles).
What should you expect to pay in Cricklewood?
Typical range: £145–£295 ex VAT, which is £174–£354 with 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.
