Is it time for flat roof junction and flashing repairs?

  • Leak near the lantern but not from the frame

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

Cracked GRP

Fibreglass roofs can crack at the kerb corner where movement concentrates.

About Slough and the SL1 area

Lanterns in central England see a bit of everything — summer sun that ages seals and end caps, autumn leaf fall that blocks eaves, and frosty mornings that bring condensation. A yearly check covers all three.

From Reading to Slough is roughly 17 miles — all part of the Berkshire area we cover.

If you're just outside Slough, we also cover Windsor (2 miles), Maidenhead (5 miles), Gerrards Cross (6 miles).

Guide prices for flat roof junction and flashing repairs in Slough

Guide price, per lantern£245–£695 ex VAT£294–£834 inc VAT

Typical range: £245–£695 ex VAT, which is £294–£834 with VAT, per lantern. 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.
