We carry out cleaning and maintenance in Dundee and across the DD1 area. Most roof lantern leaks start as small, preventable problems: blocked eaves, a lifted capping, a tired seal.

What you might be seeing
- Dirty glass or green algae on the frame
- Leaves or moss at the eaves
- You've never had it checked
What usually causes it?
Debris
Leaves and moss block drainage.
Unnoticed wear
Nobody looks at the roof until it leaks.
Covering Dundee and nearby
Colder winters mean more frosty mornings, and a roof lantern is often the coldest surface in a warm kitchen — so condensation is as common as genuine leaks. We check which you've got before quoting.
Coastal wind drives rain hard against lanterns, so cappings and ridge seals on the seaward face take the most punishment.
Close by, we also cover Carnoustie (10 miles), Cupar (10 miles), St Andrews (11 miles).
Guide prices for cleaning and maintenance in Dundee
Guide price for cleaning and maintenance: £95–£245 ex VAT (£114–£294 inc 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 Scotland?
Most lantern repairs in Scotland need no approval at all. Where a job turns into a replacement, the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 apply and we confirm how the work will be signed off before we start. Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent from the planning authority for alterations, with Historic Environment Scotland guidance; check before changing a lantern on a listed property.
