Most roof lantern leaks start as small, preventable problems: blocked eaves, a lifted capping, a tired seal. We carry out cleaning and maintenance across Cambridgeshire, with a guide price from your photos and a fixed price in writing before any work starts.

Roof lanterns in Cambridgeshire
Sun and UV do more damage than rain on many lanterns here: brittle ridge caps, chalky finishes and hardened gaskets. They're cheap to replace before they let water in.
What should you expect to pay for cleaning and maintenance in Cambridgeshire?
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.
