Signs you need leak investigation and inspection

  • 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.

More than one fault

Older lanterns often have two or three small failures.

Roof lanterns in Doncaster

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.

Urban grime and traffic film dull glass and frames quickly; a clean and seal check makes a tired lantern look and perform much better.

Doncaster is around 17 miles from Sheffield, and both are within our South Yorkshire coverage.

Neighbouring places we cover include Rotherham (11 miles), Pontefract (14 miles), Barnsley (15 miles).

Guide prices for leak investigation and inspection in Doncaster

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.
