In Daventry, as everywhere, most roof lantern leaks start as small, preventable problems: blocked eaves, a lifted capping, a tired seal. Send photos and we'll tell you what we think has failed.

Signs you need cleaning and maintenance

  • 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.

Algae and dirt

Hold moisture against seals and spoil the view.

Covering Daventry and nearby

Leaf fall from garden trees is the most common cause of eaves overflow on suburban extensions. If your lantern sits near trees, clearing the eaves channel each autumn prevents a lot of drips.

We cover Daventry as part of Northamptonshire, about 12 miles from Northampton.

If you're just outside Daventry, we also cover Rugby (9 miles), Northampton (12 miles), Leamington Spa (15 miles).

Guide prices for cleaning and maintenance in Daventry

Guide price, per visit£95–£245 ex VAT£114–£294 inc VAT

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?

Straightforward repairs — resealing, gaskets, cappings, eaves and like-for-like parts — don't normally need building regulations approval in England. Replacing the whole lantern or enlarging the opening is different and falls under the Building Regulations 2010; we confirm in writing which route applies before any replacement. 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.
