We carry out cleaning and maintenance in Lanark and across the ML11 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?
- Dirty glass or green algae on the frame
- Leaves or moss at the eaves
- The lantern is under trees
What usually causes it?
Debris
Leaves and moss block drainage.
Unnoticed wear
Nobody looks at the roof until it leaks.
About Lanark and the ML11 area
Western and upland parts of the UK get more rain and more wind-driven rain than the east, and that's what finds weak cappings and blocked eaves first. Lanterns here benefit from a check of the bars on the most exposed face and a clear eaves channel before winter.
Lanark is around 12 miles from Hamilton, and both are within our Lanarkshire coverage.
Neighbouring places we cover include Wishaw (8 miles), Motherwell (11 miles), Hamilton (12 miles).
How much should it cost?
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 Scotland?
In Scotland, 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 (Scotland) Regulations 2004, so we set out the route in writing first. 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.
