We carry out cleaning and maintenance in Rhondda and across the CF42 area. Most roof lantern leaks start as small, preventable problems: blocked eaves, a lifted capping, a tired seal.
Signs you need cleaning and maintenance
- Dirty glass or green algae on the frame
- Leaves or moss at the eaves
- You've never had it checked
Why it happens
Debris
Leaves and moss block drainage.
Algae and dirt
Hold moisture against seals and spoil the view.
Roof lanterns in Rhondda
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.
Rhondda is around 12 miles from Bridgend, and both are within our Mid Glamorgan coverage.
Close by, we also cover Tonypandy (3 miles), Aberdare (4 miles), Pontypridd (6 miles).
How much should it cost?
Typical range: £95–£245 ex VAT, which is £114–£294 with 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 Wales?
In Wales, 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 (as applied in Wales), so we set out the route in writing first. Listed buildings in Wales need listed building consent from the local planning authority for alterations, with Cadw guidance on historic buildings; check with the council before changing a lantern on a listed property.
