In Slough, as everywhere, most roof lantern leaks start as small, preventable problems: blocked eaves, a lifted capping, a tired seal. Send photos and we'll tell you what we think has failed.

Is it time for cleaning and maintenance?

  • Dirty glass or green algae on the frame
  • You've never had it checked
  • The lantern is under trees

Why it happens

Algae and dirt

Hold moisture against seals and spoil the view.

Unnoticed wear

Nobody looks at the roof until it leaks.

About Slough and the SL1 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.

We cover Slough as part of Berkshire, about 17 miles from Reading.

We also cover nearby Windsor (2 miles), Maidenhead (5 miles), Gerrards Cross (6 miles).

What should you expect to pay in Slough?

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 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.
