About Bexhill-on-Sea and the TN40 area

Even in drier areas, one heavy downpour with blocked eaves is enough to overflow a lantern indoors. Clearing the eaves channel is the simplest prevention there is.

Coastal wind drives rain hard against lanterns, so cappings and ridge seals on the seaward face take the most punishment.

Bexhill-on-Sea is around 27 miles from Brighton, and both are within our East Sussex coverage.

If you're just outside Bexhill-on-Sea, we also cover Hastings (5 miles), Hailsham (9 miles), Eastbourne (10 miles).

How much should it cost?

Guide price, per visit£95–£245 ex VAT£114–£294 inc VAT

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?

In England, 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, so we set out the route in writing first. 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.
