We carry out cleaning and maintenance in Newmarket and across the CB8 area. Most roof lantern leaks start as small, preventable problems: blocked eaves, a lifted capping, a tired seal.

Is it time for cleaning and maintenance?

  • Dirty glass or green algae on the frame
  • 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.

Roof lanterns in Newmarket

Even in drier areas, one heavy downpour with blocked eaves is enough to overflow a lantern indoors. Clearing the eaves channel is the simplest prevention there is.

Near the coast, salt in the air is hard on aluminium finishes and fixings; washing the frame occasionally and touching in chips keeps corrosion away.

We cover Newmarket as part of Suffolk, about 34 miles from Ipswich.

We also cover nearby Haverhill (11 miles), Ely (12 miles), Cambridge (13 miles).

What should you expect to pay in Newmarket?

Guide price, per visit£95–£245 ex VAT£114–£294 inc VAT

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?

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.
