When a lantern is letting in a lot of water or the glass is broken, the first job is to stop more damage. Send photos from Middlesbrough (TS1) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.

Covering Middlesbrough and nearby

Colder winters mean more frosty mornings, and a roof lantern is often the coldest surface in a warm kitchen — so condensation is as common as genuine leaks. We check which you've got before quoting.

If you're just outside Middlesbrough, we also cover Billingham (2 miles), Stockton-on-Tees (3 miles), Thornaby-on-Tees (4 miles).

How much should it cost?

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

Typical range: £195–£395 ex VAT, which is £234–£474 with 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?

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.
