In Omagh, as everywhere, most roof lantern leaks start as small, preventable problems: blocked eaves, a lifted capping, a tired seal. Send photos and we'll tell you what we think has failed.

Is it time for 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.
Unnoticed wear
Nobody looks at the roof until it leaks.
Roof lanterns in Omagh
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.
Close by, we also cover Strabane (17 miles), Enniskillen (22 miles), Cookstown (22 miles).
How much should it cost?
Typical range: £95–£245 ex VAT, which is £114–£294 with 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 Northern Ireland?
Most lantern repairs in Northern Ireland need no approval at all. Where a job turns into a replacement, the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012 apply and we confirm how the work will be signed off before we start. Listed buildings in Northern Ireland need listed building consent from the council for alterations; check with the council's planning service before changing a lantern on a listed property.
