We carry out cleaning and maintenance in Heston and across the TW5 area. Most roof lantern leaks start as small, preventable problems: blocked eaves, a lifted capping, a tired seal.
What you might be seeing
- Dirty glass or green algae on the frame
- Leaves or moss at the eaves
- You've never had it checked
Why it happens
Debris
Leaves and moss block drainage.
Unnoticed wear
Nobody looks at the roof until it leaks.
Roof lanterns in Heston
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 Heston as part of Greater London, about 10 miles from Westminster.

What should you expect to pay in Heston?
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.
