Most roof lantern leaks start as small, preventable problems: blocked eaves, a lifted capping, a tired seal. Send photos from Kidsgrove (ST7) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.

About Kidsgrove and the ST7 area

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.
