- You need a written report for a landlord, insurer or builder
Why it happens
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.
Covering Ystradgynlais and nearby
Wind-driven rain is the real test of a roof lantern, and the wetter west sees plenty of it. Leaks that appear only in a storm from one direction usually point to the cappings or eaves on that face — a useful clue when you send us photos.
Neighbouring places we cover include Neath (7 miles), Ammanford (10 miles), Maesteg (12 miles).
How much should it cost?
Guide price for leak investigation and inspection: £145–£295 ex VAT (£174–£354 inc 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 Wales?
Most lantern repairs in Wales need no approval at all. Where a job turns into a replacement, the Building Regulations 2010 (as applied in Wales) apply and we confirm how the work will be signed off before we start. Listed buildings in Wales need listed building consent from the local planning authority for alterations, with Cadw guidance on historic buildings; check with the council before changing a lantern on a listed property.
