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

Signs you need cleaning and maintenance
- Dirty glass or green algae on the frame
- You've never had it checked
- The lantern is under trees
What usually causes it?
Algae and dirt

Unnoticed wear
Nobody looks at the roof until it leaks.
Roof lanterns in Cheshire
Western and upland parts of the UK get more rain and more wind-driven rain than the east, and that's what finds weak cappings and blocked eaves first. Lanterns here benefit from a check of the bars on the most exposed face and a clear eaves channel before winter.
What should you expect to pay for cleaning and maintenance in Cheshire?
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?
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.
