We carry out cleaning and maintenance in Sandown and across the PO36 area. Most roof lantern leaks start as small, preventable problems: blocked eaves, a lifted capping, a tired seal.

Is it time for cleaning and maintenance?

  • Leaves or moss at the eaves
  • You've never had it checked
  • The lantern is under trees

Common causes we find

Debris

Leaves and moss block drainage.

Algae and dirt

Hold moisture against seals and spoil the view.

Covering Sandown and nearby

Even in drier areas, one heavy downpour with blocked eaves is enough to overflow a lantern indoors. Clearing the eaves channel is the simplest prevention there is.

Coastal wind drives rain hard against lanterns, so cappings and ridge seals on the seaward face take the most punishment.

We cover Sandown by arrangement: island work is planned around ferry access, and any travel or access costs are set out in your written quote before you commit.

We also cover nearby Ryde (5 miles), Newport, Isle of Wight (7 miles), Cowes (10 miles).

How much should it cost?

Guide price, per visit£95–£245 ex VAT£114–£294 inc VAT

Guide price for cleaning and maintenance: £95–£245 ex VAT (£114–£294 inc 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.
