Most roof lantern leaks start as small, preventable problems: blocked eaves, a lifted capping, a tired seal. We carry out cleaning and maintenance across Dyfed, with a guide price from your photos and a fixed price in writing before any work starts.

Signs you need cleaning and maintenance

- Leaves or moss at the eaves
- The lantern is under trees
What usually causes it?

Roof lanterns in Dyfed
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.
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.
What should you expect to pay for cleaning and maintenance in Dyfed?
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 Wales?
In Wales, like-for-like repairs to a roof lantern don't usually involve building control. A full replacement or a bigger opening is controlled under the Building Regulations 2010 (as applied in Wales), so we set out the route in writing first. Listed buildings in Wales need listed building consent from the local planning authority for alterations, with Cadw guidance on historic buildings; check with the council before changing a lantern on a listed property.
