Cleaning and maintenance in Portishead

If you're in Portishead and dealing with a lantern that has never been checked, we can help. We clear, clean and check lanterns so small problems are caught before they leak, and confirm the fixed price in writing before we start.

In Portishead, 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.

What should you expect to pay in Portishead?

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?

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.
