In Waterlooville, as everywhere, some leaks are obvious; many aren't. Send photos and we'll tell you what we think has failed.
What you might be seeing

- You need a written report for a landlord, insurer or builder
What usually causes it?
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 Waterlooville 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.

What should you expect to pay in Waterlooville?
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.
