Cleaning and maintenance in Horsham

We cover Horsham and the wider West Sussex area for cleaning and maintenance. In short, we clear, clean and check lanterns so small problems are caught before they leak — and you know the price before any work begins.

We carry out cleaning and maintenance in Horsham and across the RH12 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
  • You've never had it checked
  • The lantern is under trees

Common causes we find

Debris

Leaves and moss block drainage.

Unnoticed wear

Nobody looks at the roof until it leaks.

Covering Horsham and nearby

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.

Horsham is around 25 miles from Chichester, and both are within our West Sussex coverage.

Neighbouring places we cover include Crawley (7 miles), Horley (11 miles), Haywards Heath (11 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.
