We carry out cleaning and maintenance in Rotherham and across the S60 area. Most roof lantern leaks start as small, preventable problems: blocked eaves, a lifted capping, a tired seal.
What you might be seeing
- Leaves or moss at the eaves
- You've never had it checked
- The lantern is under trees
Why it happens
Debris
Leaves and moss block drainage.
Unnoticed wear
Nobody looks at the roof until it leaks.
Roof lanterns in Rotherham
Freeze-thaw cycles open up tired sealant and gaskets faster than mild weather does. A spring check after a hard winter catches most problems before they leak.
In built-up areas, access is often the hardest part of the job — through the house, over a neighbour's roof, or with parking restrictions. We plan access in advance and price any tower or scaffold into the quote.
From Sheffield to Rotherham is roughly 6 miles — all part of the South Yorkshire area we cover.
If you're just outside Rotherham, we also cover Sheffield (6 miles), Barnsley (10 miles), Dronfield (10 miles).
How much should it cost?
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?
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.

Cleaning and maintenance in Rotherham: questions
How do I get a price for cleaning and maintenance in Rotherham?
Send a few photos of the lantern and the problem, with your Rotherham postcode. We'll reply with a guide price and tell you whether a visit is needed before we can fix the price.
Do you need to visit to price cleaning and maintenance?
Not always. Clear photos are often enough for a guide price. Where the cause isn't obvious, a visit to inspect and water-test is charged from £145 ex VAT, confirmed before we come.
Do you clean the inside of the glass?
We can, where safe access from inside is possible; let us know when booking.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes — tell us how often you'd like us to come and we'll confirm the price per visit in writing.
