We carry out cleaning and maintenance in Stretford and across the M32 area. Most roof lantern leaks start as small, preventable problems: blocked eaves, a lifted capping, a tired seal.

  • You've never had it checked
  • The lantern is under trees

Common causes we find

Algae and dirt

Hold moisture against seals and spoil the view.

Unnoticed wear

Nobody looks at the roof until it leaks.

Covering Stretford 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.

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

We cover Stretford as part of Greater Manchester, about 4 miles from Manchester.

What should you expect to pay in Stretford?

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.
