What you might be seeing

  • Previous repairs haven't stopped the leak
  • The leak moves around or is intermittent
  • You're not sure if it's a leak or condensation

Common causes we find

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.

Covering Nailsea and nearby

Western and upland parts of the UK get more rain and more wind-driven rain than the east, and that's what finds weak cappings and blocked eaves first. Lanterns here benefit from a check of the bars on the most exposed face and a clear eaves channel before winter.

From Taunton to Nailsea is roughly 32 miles — all part of the Somerset area we cover.

We also cover nearby Portishead (3 miles), Clevedon (4 miles), Bristol (7 miles).

Guide prices for leak investigation and inspection in Nailsea

Guide price, per visit£145–£295 ex VAT£174–£354 inc VAT

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.
