We carry out leak investigation and inspection in Fleet and across the GU51 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
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.
Roof lanterns in Fleet
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.
Fleet is around 36 miles from Southampton, and both are within our Hampshire coverage.
Close by, we also cover Farnborough (3 miles), Aldershot (4 miles), Yateley (4 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?
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.
