About Deeside and the CH5 area
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.
Deeside is around 11 miles from Wrexham, and both are within our Clwyd coverage.
Close by, we also cover Buckley (3 miles), Mold (5 miles), Flint (5 miles).
