We carry out cleaning and maintenance in Gosforth and across the NE3 area. Most roof lantern leaks start as small, preventable problems: blocked eaves, a lifted capping, a tired seal.

Covering Gosforth and nearby

Colder winters mean more frosty mornings, and a roof lantern is often the coldest surface in a warm kitchen — so condensation is as common as genuine leaks. We check which you've got before quoting.

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.

Gosforth is around 2 miles from Newcastle upon Tyne, and both are within our Tyne and Wear coverage.

We also cover nearby Newcastle upon Tyne (2 miles), Gateshead (3 miles), Wallsend (3 miles).

How much should it cost?

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

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?

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.

Send a few photos of the lantern and the problem, with your Gosforth postcode. We'll reply with a guide price and tell you whether a visit is needed before we can fix the price.

What does a maintenance visit cost?

Do you clean the inside of the glass?

We can, where safe access from inside is possible; let us know when booking.
