We carry out flat roof junction and flashing repairs in Crewe and across the CW1 area. The junction where the flat roof covering meets the lantern kerb is a weak point on many extensions.
Signs you need flat roof junction and flashing repairs

Why it happens
Cracked GRP
Fibreglass roofs can crack at the kerb corner where movement concentrates.
Missing trims
Without a trim or flashing to protect the top edge, water gets in behind the membrane.
Roof lanterns in Crewe
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.
Crewe is around 20 miles from Chester, and both are within our Cheshire coverage.
If you're just outside Crewe, we also cover Winsford (7 miles), Kidsgrove (8 miles), Congleton (11 miles).
What should you expect to pay in Crewe?
Guide price for flat roof junction and flashing repairs: £245–£695 ex VAT (£294–£834 inc 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.
