We carry out cleaning and maintenance in Colne and across the BB8 area. Most roof lantern leaks start as small, preventable problems: blocked eaves, a lifted capping, a tired seal.

  • Dirty glass or green algae on the frame
  • Leaves or moss at the eaves
  • You've never had it checked

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 Colne and nearby

Damp, mild winters keep moss and algae growing on flat roofs and lantern frames, which holds water against seals and blocks weep slots. Regular clearing makes a real difference in wetter areas.

Colne is around 23 miles from Preston, and both are within our Lancashire coverage.

What should you expect to pay in Colne?

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.
