Covering Chelsea and nearby

Sun and UV do more damage than rain on many lanterns here: brittle ridge caps, chalky finishes and hardened gaskets. They're cheap to replace before they let water in.

Across London, many lanterns sit on rear extensions with access only through the house, so we protect floors and plan the work to keep time indoors to a minimum. Parking and any permits are factored into the quote.

Chelsea is around 2 miles from Westminster, and both are within our Greater London coverage.

If you're just outside Chelsea, we also cover Battersea (1 mile), Fulham (1 mile), Pimlico (1 mile).

Guide prices for urgent leak make-safe in Chelsea

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

Guide price for urgent leak make-safe: £195–£395 ex VAT (£234–£474 inc 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.
