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

Common causes we find

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.

Freeze-thaw cycles open up tired sealant and gaskets faster than mild weather does. A spring check after a hard winter catches most problems before they leak.

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.

Neighbouring places we cover include Ashington (5 miles), Cramlington (7 miles), Blyth (8 miles).

What should you expect to pay in Morpeth?

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?

In England, like-for-like repairs to a roof lantern don't usually involve building control. A full replacement or a bigger opening is controlled under the Building Regulations 2010, so we set out the route in writing first. 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.
