We carry out cleaning and maintenance in Selby and across the YO8 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
- You've never had it checked
- 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.
Covering Selby and nearby
Snow and ice sitting at the eaves can block a lantern's drainage and push water back under the glass as it melts. If your lantern leaks after a thaw rather than after rain, tell us — it points to the eaves and kerb.
We cover Selby as part of North Yorkshire, about 12 miles from York.
We also cover nearby Goole (10 miles), Pontefract (12 miles), York (12 miles).
Guide prices for cleaning and maintenance in Selby
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.
