What you might be seeing

  • Previous repairs haven't stopped the leak
  • The leak moves around or is intermittent
  • You're not sure if it's a leak or condensation

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 Faversham

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.

Near the coast, salt in the air is hard on aluminium finishes and fixings; washing the frame occasionally and touching in chips keeps corrosion away.

We cover Faversham as part of Kent, about 16 miles from Maidstone.

If you're just outside Faversham, we also cover Whitstable (7 miles), Sittingbourne (7 miles), Canterbury (9 miles).

What should you expect to pay in Faversham?

Guide price, per visit£145–£295 ex VAT£174–£354 inc VAT

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.
