We carry out cleaning and maintenance in Newcastle upon Tyne and across the NE1 area. Most roof lantern leaks start as small, preventable problems: blocked eaves, a lifted capping, a tired seal.

Roof lanterns in Newcastle upon Tyne

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.

If you're just outside Newcastle upon Tyne, we also cover Gateshead (1 mile), Gosforth (2 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?

Straightforward repairs — resealing, gaskets, cappings, eaves and like-for-like parts — don't normally need building regulations approval in England. Replacing the whole lantern or enlarging the opening is different and falls under the Building Regulations 2010; we confirm in writing which route applies before any replacement. 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 Newcastle upon Tyne: questions

How do I get a price for cleaning and maintenance in Newcastle upon Tyne?

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

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.
