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

Is it time for leak investigation and inspection?
- Previous repairs haven't stopped the leak
- The leak moves around or is intermittent
- You need a written report for a landlord, insurer or builder
Common causes we find
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 Yeadon
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.
Urban grime and traffic film dull glass and frames quickly; a clean and seal check makes a tired lantern look and perform much better.

What should you expect to pay in Yeadon?
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.
