Wellington is around 10 miles from Shrewsbury, and both are within our Shropshire coverage.

What should you expect to pay in Wellington?

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?

Most lantern repairs in England need no approval at all. Where a job turns into a replacement, the Building Regulations 2010 apply and we confirm how the work will be signed off before we start. 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.
