Most roof lantern leaks start as small, preventable problems: blocked eaves, a lifted capping, a tired seal. Send photos from Telford (TF3) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.
Is it time for cleaning and maintenance?

- Leaves or moss at the eaves
- You've never had it checked
Why it happens
Debris
Leaves and moss block drainage.
Algae and dirt
Hold moisture against seals and spoil the view.
Covering Telford and nearby
Damp, mild winters keep moss and algae growing on flat roofs and lantern frames, which holds water against seals and blocks weep slots. Regular clearing makes a real difference in wetter areas.
Telford is around 13 miles from Shrewsbury, and both are within our Shropshire coverage.
If you're just outside Telford, we also cover Wellington (3 miles), Bridgnorth (10 miles), Shrewsbury (13 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?
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.
