In Dunblane, as everywhere, some leaks are obvious; many aren't. Send photos and we'll tell you what we think has failed.

What you might be seeing
- Previous repairs haven't stopped the leak
- You're not sure if it's a leak or condensation
- You need a written report for a landlord, insurer or builder
What usually causes it?
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.
About Dunblane and the FK15 area
Colder winters mean more frosty mornings, and a roof lantern is often the coldest surface in a warm kitchen — so condensation is as common as genuine leaks. We check which you've got before quoting.
We cover Dunblane as part of Stirling and Falkirk, about 5 miles from Stirling.
Close by, we also cover Stirling (5 miles), Alloa (8 miles), Auchterarder (12 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 Scotland?
Most lantern repairs in Scotland need no approval at all. Where a job turns into a replacement, the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 apply and we confirm how the work will be signed off before we start. 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.
