Not the lantern

Sometimes the source is the flat roof, a parapet, a gutter or a wall above.

Roof lanterns in Wednesfield

Lanterns in central England see a bit of everything — summer sun that ages seals and end caps, autumn leaf fall that blocks eaves, and frosty mornings that bring condensation. A yearly check covers all three.

In built-up areas, access is often the hardest part of the job — through the house, over a neighbour's roof, or with parking restrictions. We plan access in advance and price any tower or scaffold into the quote.

We cover Wednesfield as part of West Midlands, about 11 miles from Birmingham.

Close by, we also cover Willenhall (1 mile), Wolverhampton (2 miles), Bloxwich (4 miles).

Guide prices for leak investigation and inspection in Wednesfield

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

Typical range: £145–£295 ex VAT, which is £174–£354 with 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?

Straightforward repairs — resealing, gaskets, cappings, eaves and like-for-like parts — don't normally need building regulations approval in England. Replacing the whole lantern or enlarging the opening is different and falls under the Building Regulations 2010; we confirm in writing which route applies before any replacement. 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.
