We carry out cleaning and maintenance in Didcot and across the OX11 area. Most roof lantern leaks start as small, preventable problems: blocked eaves, a lifted capping, a tired seal.

About Didcot and the OX11 area

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.

We cover Didcot as part of Oxfordshire, about 10 miles from Oxford.

We also cover nearby Abingdon (5 miles), Oxford (10 miles), Thatcham (14 miles).

Guide prices for cleaning and maintenance in Didcot

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

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?

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.
