Is it time for leak investigation and inspection?

  • 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.

How much should it cost?

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.
