We carry out cleaning and maintenance in Bury and across the BL9 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
  • You've never had it checked
  • The lantern is under trees

Why it happens

Debris

Leaves and moss block drainage.

Algae and dirt

Hold moisture against seals and spoil the view.

Covering Bury and nearby

Damp, mild winters keep moss and algae growing on flat roofs and lantern frames, which holds water against seals and blocks weep slots. Regular clearing makes a real difference in wetter areas.

Urban grime and traffic film dull glass and frames quickly; a clean and seal check makes a tired lantern look and perform much better.

Bury is around 9 miles from Manchester, and both are within our Greater Manchester coverage.

If you're just outside Bury, we also cover Radcliffe (3 miles), Heywood (3 miles), Whitefield (3 miles).

How much should it cost?

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.
