We carry out urgent leak make-safe in Staines and across the TW18 area. When a lantern is letting in a lot of water or the glass is broken, the first job is to stop more damage.

Roof lantern temporarily covered with clear waterproof sheeting in the rain at dusk

What you might be seeing

  • Water pouring in during a storm
  • Broken or missing glass
  • A capping or vent blown off

What usually causes it?

Impact

Falling branches or debris can break glass.

Sudden seal failure

A failing joint can let go in heavy rain.

Covering Staines and nearby

Drier, sunnier parts of the UK are kinder to seals than the wet west, but strong sun ages sealant, gaskets and plastic end caps, and south- or west-facing lanterns can make rooms very warm. Solar control glass and an opening vent help.

Staines is around 14 miles from Guildford, and both are within our Surrey coverage.

Neighbouring places we cover include Egham (2 miles), Ashford, Surrey (2 miles), Feltham (4 miles).

Guide prices for urgent leak make-safe in Staines

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?

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.
