We carry out cleaning and maintenance in Montrose and across the DD10 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

Debris

Leaves and moss block drainage.

Algae and dirt

Hold moisture against seals and spoil the view.

Covering Montrose and nearby

Freeze-thaw cycles open up tired sealant and gaskets faster than mild weather does. A spring check after a hard winter catches most problems before they leak.

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.

We cover Montrose as part of Dundee and Angus, about 26 miles from Dundee.

If you're just outside Montrose, we also cover Brechin (8 miles), Arbroath (11 miles), Carnoustie (17 miles).

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.

Cleaning and maintenance in Montrose: questions

Do you need to visit to price cleaning and maintenance?

Not always. Clear photos are often enough for a guide price. Where the cause isn't obvious, a visit to inspect and water-test is charged from £145 ex VAT, confirmed before we come.

Can you repair a lantern someone else installed in Montrose?

Yes. We repair lanterns whoever fitted them. If yours is still under the installer's warranty, contact them first so you don't affect it.

What does a maintenance visit cost?

Usually £95–£245 ex VAT per visit depending on size and access, confirmed in writing before the visit.

Do you clean the inside of the glass?

We can, where safe access from inside is possible; let us know when booking.
