Covering Ledbury and nearby

Wind-driven rain is the real test of a roof lantern, and the wetter west sees plenty of it. Leaks that appear only in a storm from one direction usually point to the cappings or eaves on that face — a useful clue when you send us photos.

We cover Ledbury as part of Herefordshire, about 12 miles from Hereford.

If you're just outside Ledbury, we also cover Great Malvern (7 miles), Ross-on-Wye (10 miles), Tewkesbury (12 miles).

What should you expect to pay in Ledbury?

Guide price, per vent£195–£545 ex VAT£234–£654 inc VAT

Most opening vent and actuator repairs jobs come in between £195 and £545 ex VAT (£234–£654 including VAT), per vent. 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.
