We carry out cleaning and maintenance in Workington and across the CA14 area. Most roof lantern leaks start as small, preventable problems: blocked eaves, a lifted capping, a tired seal.
Is it time for cleaning and maintenance?
- Dirty glass or green algae on the frame
- Leaves or moss at the eaves
- The lantern is under trees
Why it happens
Algae and dirt
Hold moisture against seals and spoil the view.
Unnoticed wear
Nobody looks at the roof until it leaks.
Covering Workington and nearby
Wind-driven rain is the real test of a roof lantern, and the wetter west sees plenty of it. Leaks that appear only in a storm from one direction usually point to the cappings or eaves on that face — a useful clue when you send us photos.
Workington is around 30 miles from Carlisle, and both are within our Cumbria coverage.
Close by, we also cover Whitehaven (7 miles), Carlisle (30 miles), Penrith (31 miles).
How much should it cost?
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?
Straightforward repairs — resealing, gaskets, cappings, eaves and like-for-like parts — don't normally need building regulations approval in England. Replacing the whole lantern or enlarging the opening is different and falls under the Building Regulations 2010; we confirm in writing which route applies before any replacement. 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.
