We carry out cleaning and maintenance in Eastbourne and across the BN21 area. Most roof lantern leaks start as small, preventable problems: blocked eaves, a lifted capping, a tired seal.

Roof lanterns in Eastbourne

Sun and UV do more damage than rain on many lanterns here: brittle ridge caps, chalky finishes and hardened gaskets. They're cheap to replace before they let water in.

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.

Eastbourne is around 19 miles from Brighton, and both are within our East Sussex coverage.

If you're just outside Eastbourne, we also cover Hailsham (7 miles), Seaford (8 miles), Bexhill-on-Sea (10 miles).

Guide prices for cleaning and maintenance in Eastbourne

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?

Most lantern repairs in England need no approval at all. Where a job turns into a replacement, the Building Regulations 2010 apply and we confirm how the work will be signed off before we start. 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.
