We carry out cleaning and maintenance in Nairn and across the IV12 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
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 Nairn 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.
Near the coast, salt in the air is hard on aluminium finishes and fixings; washing the frame occasionally and touching in chips keeps corrosion away.
We cover Nairn as part of Highlands and Islands, about 15 miles from Inverness.
Neighbouring places we cover include Forres (10 miles), Inverness (15 miles), Dingwall (20 miles).
What should you expect to pay in Nairn?
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 Scotland?
Most lantern repairs in Scotland need no approval at all. Where a job turns into a replacement, the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 apply and we confirm how the work will be signed off before we start. Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent from the planning authority for alterations, with Historic Environment Scotland guidance; check before changing a lantern on a listed property.
