We carry out leak investigation and inspection in Perth and across the PH1 area. Some leaks are obvious; many aren't.

What usually causes it?
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.
About Perth and the PH1 area
Snow and ice sitting at the eaves can block a lantern's drainage and push water back under the glass as it melts. If your lantern leaks after a thaw rather than after rain, tell us — it points to the eaves and kerb.
We also cover nearby Auchterarder (13 miles), Kinross (13 miles), Blairgowrie (14 miles).
Guide prices for leak investigation and inspection in Perth
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 Scotland?
Straightforward repairs — resealing, gaskets, cappings, eaves and like-for-like parts — don't normally need building regulations approval in Scotland. Replacing the whole lantern or enlarging the opening is different and falls under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004; we confirm in writing which route applies before any replacement. Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent from the planning authority for alterations, with Historic Environment Scotland guidance; check before changing a lantern on a listed property.
