Not the lantern
Sometimes the source is the flat roof, a parapet, a gutter or a wall above.
About Droitwich and the WR9 area
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.
Droitwich is around 6 miles from Worcester, and both are within our Worcestershire coverage.
If you're just outside Droitwich, we also cover Bromsgrove (6 miles), Worcester (6 miles), Stourport-on-Severn (7 miles).
What should you expect to pay in Droitwich?
Guide price for leak investigation and inspection: £145–£295 ex VAT (£174–£354 inc 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?
In England, like-for-like repairs to a roof lantern don't usually involve building control. A full replacement or a bigger opening is controlled under the Building Regulations 2010, so we set out the route in writing first. 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.
