In Greenwich, 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.

Is it time for cleaning and maintenance?

  • Dirty glass or green algae on the frame
  • Leaves or moss at the eaves
  • The lantern is under trees

What usually causes it?

Debris

Leaves and moss block drainage.

Unnoticed wear

Nobody looks at the roof until it leaks.

Roof lanterns in Greenwich

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.

London's extensions are often tight to neighbouring walls and roofs. Where a repair needs access over a neighbour's property, we'll tell you in advance so you can arrange it.

We cover Greenwich as part of Greater London, about 6 miles from Westminster.

If you're just outside Greenwich, we also cover Blackheath (1 mile), Canary Wharf (2 miles), Catford (2 miles).

Guide prices for cleaning and maintenance in Greenwich

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

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?

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.
