We carry out cleaning and maintenance in Middlesbrough and across the TS1 area. Most roof lantern leaks start as small, preventable problems: blocked eaves, a lifted capping, a tired seal.

What you might be seeing
- Dirty glass or green algae on the frame
- Leaves or moss at the eaves
- The lantern is under trees
Why it happens
Debris
Leaves and moss block drainage.
Unnoticed wear
Nobody looks at the roof until it leaks.
About Middlesbrough and the TS1 area
Freeze-thaw cycles open up tired sealant and gaskets faster than mild weather does. A spring check after a hard winter catches most problems before they leak.
Neighbouring places we cover include Billingham (2 miles), Stockton-on-Tees (3 miles), Thornaby-on-Tees (4 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 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.
