We carry out flat roof junction and flashing repairs in Ballymena and across the BT42 area. The junction where the flat roof covering meets the lantern kerb is a weak point on many extensions.
What you might be seeing
- Leak near the lantern but not from the frame
- Splits, blisters or lifted edges in the roof covering by the kerb
- Ponding on the roof next to the lantern
What usually causes it?
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.
Covering Ballymena and nearby
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.
From Belfast to Ballymena is roughly 23 miles — all part of the County Antrim area we cover.
We also cover nearby Antrim (12 miles), Magherafelt (15 miles), Ballymoney (17 miles).
What should you expect to pay in Ballymena?
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 Northern Ireland?
Most lantern repairs in Northern Ireland need no approval at all. Where a job turns into a replacement, the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012 apply and we confirm how the work will be signed off before we start. Listed buildings in Northern Ireland need listed building consent from the council for alterations; check with the council's planning service before changing a lantern on a listed property.
