About Tewkesbury and the GL20 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.

Tewkesbury is around 9 miles from Gloucester, and both are within our Gloucestershire coverage.

We also cover nearby Cheltenham (7 miles), Gloucester (9 miles), Great Malvern (11 miles).

Guide prices for urgent leak make-safe in Tewkesbury

Guide price, per visit£195–£395 ex VAT£234–£474 inc VAT

Most urgent leak make-safe jobs come in between £195 and £395 ex VAT (£234–£474 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.
