Most roof lantern leaks start as small, preventable problems: blocked eaves, a lifted capping, a tired seal. Send photos from Brierley Hill (DY5) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.

Covering Brierley Hill and nearby
Leaf fall from garden trees is the most common cause of eaves overflow on suburban extensions. If your lantern sits near trees, clearing the eaves channel each autumn prevents a lot of drips.
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 Birmingham to Brierley Hill is roughly 9 miles — all part of the West Midlands area we cover.
Close by, we also cover Stourbridge (2 miles), Dudley (2 miles), Kingswinford (2 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?
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.
