Most roof lantern leaks start as small, preventable problems: blocked eaves, a lifted capping, a tired seal. Send photos from Ledbury (HR8) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.

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

Why it happens

Algae and dirt

Hold moisture against seals and spoil the view.

Unnoticed wear

Nobody looks at the roof until it leaks.

Covering Ledbury 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.

Ledbury is around 12 miles from Hereford, and both are within our Herefordshire coverage.

Neighbouring places we cover include Great Malvern (7 miles), Ross-on-Wye (10 miles), Tewkesbury (12 miles).

What should you expect to pay in Ledbury?

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?

Straightforward repairs — resealing, gaskets, cappings, eaves and like-for-like parts — don't normally need building regulations approval in England. Replacing the whole lantern or enlarging the opening is different and falls under the Building Regulations 2010; we confirm in writing which route applies before any replacement. 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.

Cleaning and maintenance in Ledbury: questions

Do you need to visit to price cleaning and maintenance?

Not always. Clear photos are often enough for a guide price. Where the cause isn't obvious, a visit to inspect and water-test is charged from £145 ex VAT, confirmed before we come.

Can you repair a lantern someone else installed in Ledbury?

Yes. We repair lanterns whoever fitted them. If yours is still under the installer's warranty, contact them first so you don't affect it.

What does a maintenance visit cost?

Usually £95–£245 ex VAT per visit depending on size and access, confirmed in writing before the visit.

Do you clean the inside of the glass?

We can, where safe access from inside is possible; let us know when booking.
