In Burnham-on-Sea, as everywhere, most roof lantern leaks start as small, preventable problems: blocked eaves, a lifted capping, a tired seal. Send photos and we'll tell you what we think has failed.

About Burnham-on-Sea and the TA8 area
Western and upland parts of the UK get more rain and more wind-driven rain than the east, and that's what finds weak cappings and blocked eaves first. Lanterns here benefit from a check of the bars on the most exposed face and a clear eaves channel before winter.
Burnham-on-Sea is around 16 miles from Taunton, and both are within our Somerset coverage.
Neighbouring places we cover include Weston-super-Mare (7 miles), Bridgwater (8 miles), Clevedon (15 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?
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.
