Covering Wimbledon 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.

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.

From Westminster to Wimbledon is roughly 6 miles — all part of the Greater London area we cover.

We also cover nearby Morden (2 miles), Mitcham (2 miles), Putney (3 miles).

Do you need permission in England?

In England, like-for-like repairs to a roof lantern don't usually involve building control. A full replacement or a bigger opening is controlled under the Building Regulations 2010, so we set out the route in writing first. 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.
