We carry out cleaning and maintenance in Billericay and across the CM11 area. Most roof lantern leaks start as small, preventable problems: blocked eaves, a lifted capping, a tired seal.
What you might be seeing
- Leaves or moss at the eaves
- You've never had it checked

Why it happens
Debris
Leaves and moss block drainage.
Algae and dirt

About Billericay and the CM11 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.
Billericay is around 8 miles from Chelmsford, and both are within our Essex coverage.
We also cover nearby Basildon (4 miles), Wickford (5 miles), Brentwood (5 miles).
How much should it cost?
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?
Straightforward repairs — resealing, gaskets, cappings, eaves and like-for-like parts — don't normally need building regulations approval in England. Replacing the whole lantern or enlarging the opening is different and falls under the Building Regulations 2010; we confirm in writing which route applies before any replacement. 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.
