We carry out cleaning and maintenance in Northampton and across the NN1 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.
Unnoticed wear
Nobody looks at the roof until it leaks.
Covering Northampton and nearby
Lanterns in central England see a bit of everything — summer sun that ages seals and end caps, autumn leaf fall that blocks eaves, and frosty mornings that bring condensation. A yearly check covers all three.
Close by, we also cover Wellingborough (9 miles), Daventry (12 miles), Rushden (12 miles).
What should you expect to pay in Northampton?
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?
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.
