Most roof lantern leaks start as small, preventable problems: blocked eaves, a lifted capping, a tired seal. Send photos from Camden Town (NW1) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.

Is it time for cleaning and maintenance?

  • Dirty glass or green algae on the frame

Why it happens

Algae and dirt

Hold moisture against seals and spoil the view.

Unnoticed wear

Nobody looks at the roof until it leaks.

Covering Camden Town and nearby

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.

Across London, many lanterns sit on rear extensions with access only through the house, so we protect floors and plan the work to keep time indoors to a minimum. Parking and any permits are factored into the quote.

From Westminster to Camden Town is roughly 3 miles — all part of the Greater London area we cover.

Neighbouring places we cover include Chalk Farm (1 mile), Holloway (1 mile), Islington (2 miles).

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.
