We carry out cleaning and maintenance in Uppingham and across the LE15 area. Most roof lantern leaks start as small, preventable problems: blocked eaves, a lifted capping, a tired seal.
Is it time for cleaning and maintenance?
- Dirty glass or green algae on the frame
- Leaves or moss at the eaves

Roof lanterns in Uppingham
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.
From Oakham to Uppingham is roughly 5 miles — all part of the Rutland area we cover.
We also cover nearby Oakham (5 miles), Corby (6 miles), Stamford (11 miles).
How much should it cost?
Most cleaning and maintenance jobs come in between £95 and £245 ex VAT (£114–£294 including 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.
