Cleaning and maintenance in Aberdeen

If you're in Aberdeen and dealing with a lantern that has never been checked, we can help. We clear, clean and check lanterns so small problems are caught before they leak, and confirm the fixed price in writing before we start.

Most roof lantern leaks start as small, preventable problems: blocked eaves, a lifted capping, a tired seal. Send photos from Aberdeen (AB10) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.

Nobody looks at the roof until it leaks.

Covering Aberdeen and nearby

Colder winters mean more frosty mornings, and a roof lantern is often the coldest surface in a warm kitchen — so condensation is as common as genuine leaks. We check which you've got before quoting.

Near the coast, salt in the air is hard on aluminium finishes and fixings; washing the frame occasionally and touching in chips keeps corrosion away.

Neighbouring places we cover include Westhill (7 miles), Inverurie (14 miles), Peterhead (27 miles).

What should you expect to pay in Aberdeen?

Guide price, per visit£95–£245 ex VAT£114–£294 inc VAT

Most cleaning and maintenance jobs come in between £95 and £245 ex VAT (£114–£294 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 Scotland?

Straightforward repairs — resealing, gaskets, cappings, eaves and like-for-like parts — don't normally need building regulations approval in Scotland. Replacing the whole lantern or enlarging the opening is different and falls under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004; we confirm in writing which route applies before any replacement. Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent from the planning authority for alterations, with Historic Environment Scotland guidance; check before changing a lantern on a listed property.
