We carry out leak investigation and inspection in Peckham and across the SE15 area. Some leaks are obvious; many aren't.
What you might be seeing
- Previous repairs haven't stopped the leak
- The leak moves around or is intermittent
- 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.
Not the lantern
Sometimes the source is the flat roof, a parapet, a gutter or a wall above.
Covering Peckham 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.
Across London, many lanterns sit on rear extensions with access only through the house, so we protect floors and plan the work to keep time indoors to a minimum. Parking and any permits are factored into the quote.
Peckham is around 3 miles from Westminster, and both are within our Greater London coverage.
If you're just outside Peckham, we also cover Brixton (2 miles), Greenwich (3 miles), Catford (3 miles).
What should you expect to pay in Peckham?
Most leak investigation and inspection jobs come in between £145 and £295 ex VAT (£174–£354 including 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.
