Cleaning and maintenance in Seaford

We cover Seaford and the wider East Sussex area for cleaning and maintenance. In short, we clear, clean and check lanterns so small problems are caught before they leak — and you know the price before any work begins.

Most roof lantern leaks start as small, preventable problems: blocked eaves, a lifted capping, a tired seal. Send photos from Seaford (BN25) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.

Roof lanterns in Seaford

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.

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

From Brighton to Seaford is roughly 11 miles — all part of the East Sussex area we cover.

What should you expect to pay in Seaford?

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

Typical range: £95–£245 ex VAT, which is £114–£294 with 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.
