Most roof lantern leaks start as small, preventable problems: blocked eaves, a lifted capping, a tired seal. Send photos from West Bromwich (B70) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.

Roof lanterns in West Bromwich
Lanterns in central England see a bit of everything — summer sun that ages seals and end caps, autumn leaf fall that blocks eaves, and frosty mornings that bring condensation. A yearly check covers all three.
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 West Bromwich is roughly 5 miles — all part of the West Midlands area we cover.
If you're just outside West Bromwich, we also cover Smethwick (2 miles), Wednesbury (3 miles), Tipton (3 miles).
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.
