We carry out cleaning and maintenance in Wokingham and across the RG40 area. Most roof lantern leaks start as small, preventable problems: blocked eaves, a lifted capping, a tired seal.
Signs you need cleaning and maintenance
- Dirty glass or green algae on the frame
- Leaves or moss at the eaves
- You've never had it checked
Common causes we find
Debris
Leaves and moss block drainage.
Algae and dirt
Hold moisture against seals and spoil the view.
About Wokingham and the RG40 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.
From Reading to Wokingham is roughly 7 miles — all part of the Berkshire area we cover.
Neighbouring places we cover include Crowthorne (3 miles), Bracknell (4 miles), Yateley (5 miles).
How much should it cost?
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?
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.

Cleaning and maintenance in Wokingham: questions
Do you need to visit to price cleaning and maintenance?
Not always. Clear photos are often enough for a guide price. Where the cause isn't obvious, a visit to inspect and water-test is charged from £145 ex VAT, confirmed before we come.
Can you repair a lantern someone else installed in Wokingham?
Yes. We repair lanterns whoever fitted them. If yours is still under the installer's warranty, contact them first so you don't affect it.
Do you clean the inside of the glass?
We can, where safe access from inside is possible; let us know when booking.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes — tell us how often you'd like us to come and we'll confirm the price per visit in writing.
