We carry out cleaning and maintenance in Sittingbourne and across the ME10 area. Most roof lantern leaks start as small, preventable problems: blocked eaves, a lifted capping, a tired seal.

Why it happens

Unnoticed wear

Nobody looks at the roof until it leaks.

Roof lanterns in Sittingbourne

Sun and UV do more damage than rain on many lanterns here: brittle ridge caps, chalky finishes and hardened gaskets. They're cheap to replace before they let water in.

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.

Sittingbourne is around 11 miles from Maidstone, and both are within our Kent coverage.

We also cover nearby Faversham (7 miles), Gillingham (9 miles), Chatham (9 miles).

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.
