Most roof lantern leaks start as small, preventable problems: blocked eaves, a lifted capping, a tired seal. We carry out cleaning and maintenance across Gwent, with a guide price from your photos and a fixed price in writing before any work starts.

Roof lanterns in Gwent

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.

What should you expect to pay for cleaning and maintenance in Gwent?

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 Wales?

Straightforward repairs — resealing, gaskets, cappings, eaves and like-for-like parts — don't normally need building regulations approval in Wales. Replacing the whole lantern or enlarging the opening is different and falls under the Building Regulations 2010 (as applied in Wales); we confirm in writing which route applies before any replacement. Listed buildings in Wales need listed building consent from the local planning authority for alterations, with Cadw guidance on historic buildings; check with the council before changing a lantern on a listed property.
