We carry out cleaning and maintenance in Antrim and across the BT41 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
- You've never had it checked
- The lantern is under trees
Why it happens
Debris
Leaves and moss block drainage.
Algae and dirt
Hold moisture against seals and spoil the view.
Covering Antrim and nearby
Damp, mild winters keep moss and algae growing on flat roofs and lantern frames, which holds water against seals and blocks weep slots. Regular clearing makes a real difference in wetter areas.
Near the coast, salt in the air is hard on aluminium finishes and fixings; washing the frame occasionally and touching in chips keeps corrosion away.
Antrim is around 13 miles from Belfast, and both are within our County Antrim coverage.
We also cover nearby Ballymena (12 miles), Newtownabbey (12 miles), Belfast (13 miles).
