Signs you need flat roof junction and flashing repairs

  • Splits, blisters or lifted edges in the roof covering by the kerb
  • Missing or loose edge trims and flashings
  • Ponding on the roof next to the lantern

Why it happens

Unbonded membrane

EPDM or single-ply that has come away from the kerb lets water run behind it.

Missing trims

Without a trim or flashing to protect the top edge, water gets in behind the membrane.

Roof lanterns in Oban

Wind-driven rain is the real test of a roof lantern, and the wetter west sees plenty of it. Leaks that appear only in a storm from one direction usually point to the cappings or eaves on that face — a useful clue when you send us photos.

Coastal wind drives rain hard against lanterns, so cappings and ridge seals on the seaward face take the most punishment.

If you're just outside Oban, we also cover Lochgilphead (26 miles), Fort William (31 miles), Dunoon (39 miles).
