Is it time for leak investigation and inspection?

  • 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

What usually causes it?

More than one fault

Older lanterns often have two or three small failures.

Not the lantern

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

Roof lanterns in Dewsbury

Damp, mild winters keep moss and algae growing on flat roofs and lantern frames, which holds water against seals and blocks weep slots. Regular clearing makes a real difference in wetter areas.

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.

Dewsbury is around 8 miles from Leeds, and both are within our West Yorkshire coverage.

Guide prices for leak investigation and inspection in Dewsbury

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?

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.
