In Stroud, as everywhere, most roof lantern leaks start as small, preventable problems: blocked eaves, a lifted capping, a tired seal. Send photos and we'll tell you what we think has failed.

Covering Stroud and nearby

Wind-driven rain is the real test of a roof lantern, and the wetter west sees plenty of it. Leaks that appear only in a storm from one direction usually point to the cappings or eaves on that face — a useful clue when you send us photos.

Stroud is around 8 miles from Gloucester, and both are within our Gloucestershire coverage.

If you're just outside Stroud, we also cover Gloucester (8 miles), Cirencester (10 miles), Cheltenham (12 miles).

What should you expect to pay in Stroud?

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?

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.
