We carry out cleaning and maintenance in Clacton-on-Sea and across the CO15 area. Most roof lantern leaks start as small, preventable problems: blocked eaves, a lifted capping, a tired seal.

About Clacton-on-Sea and the CO15 area

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.

We cover Clacton-on-Sea as part of Essex, about 30 miles from Chelmsford.

If you're just outside Clacton-on-Sea, we also cover Harwich (12 miles), Colchester (13 miles), Felixstowe (15 miles).

How much should it cost?

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?

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.
