We carry out cleaning and maintenance in Ashington and across the NE63 area. Most roof lantern leaks start as small, preventable problems: blocked eaves, a lifted capping, a tired seal.
Signs you need cleaning and maintenance
- Leaves or moss at the eaves
- You've never had it checked
- The lantern is under trees
What usually causes it?
Debris
Leaves and moss block drainage.
Algae and dirt
Hold moisture against seals and spoil the view.
Covering Ashington 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.
Coastal wind drives rain hard against lanterns, so cappings and ridge seals on the seaward face take the most punishment.
Ashington is around 5 miles from Morpeth, and both are within our Northumberland coverage.
Close by, we also cover Blyth (4 miles), Morpeth (5 miles), Cramlington (6 miles).
Guide prices for cleaning and maintenance in Ashington
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.
