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 Newark-on-Trent
Lanterns in central England see a bit of everything — summer sun that ages seals and end caps, autumn leaf fall that blocks eaves, and frosty mornings that bring condensation. A yearly check covers all three.
We cover Newark-on-Trent as part of Nottinghamshire, about 16 miles from Nottingham.
Neighbouring places we cover include Grantham (13 miles), Arnold (14 miles), Nottingham (16 miles).
How much should it cost?
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.
