What you might be seeing

  • The leak moves around or is intermittent
  • You're not sure if it's a leak or condensation
  • You need a written report for a landlord, insurer or builder

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.

About Larbert and the FK5 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.

From Stirling to Larbert is roughly 8 miles — all part of the Stirling and Falkirk area we cover.
