- Dirty glass or green algae on the frame
- Leaves or moss at the eaves
- You've never had it checked
What usually causes it?
Debris
Leaves and moss block drainage.
Unnoticed wear
Nobody looks at the roof until it leaks.
About Windsor and the SL4 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.
Windsor is around 16 miles from Reading, and both are within our Berkshire coverage.
We also cover nearby Slough (2 miles), Egham (4 miles), Staines (5 miles).
What should you expect to pay in Windsor?
Guide price for cleaning and maintenance: £95–£245 ex VAT (£114–£294 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?
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.
