We carry out cleaning and maintenance in Oakham and across the LE15 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
Common causes we find
Debris
Leaves and moss block drainage.
Algae and dirt
Hold moisture against seals and spoil the view.
Covering Oakham 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.
We also cover nearby Uppingham (5 miles), Melton Mowbray (9 miles), Stamford (11 miles).
Guide prices for cleaning and maintenance in Oakham
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.
