Signs you need flat roof junction and flashing repairs

  • Leak near the lantern but not from the frame
  • Missing or loose edge trims and flashings

Common causes we find

Unbonded membrane

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.

Roof lanterns in Bodmin

Damp, mild winters keep moss and algae growing on flat roofs and lantern frames, which holds water against seals and blocks weep slots. Regular clearing makes a real difference in wetter areas.

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

What should you expect to pay in Bodmin?

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

Most flat roof junction and flashing repairs jobs come in between £245 and £695 ex VAT (£294–£834 including 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?

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.
