The junction where the flat roof covering meets the lantern kerb is a weak point on many extensions. Send photos from Hartlepool (TS24) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.

Why it happens
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.
Covering Hartlepool and nearby
Colder winters mean more frosty mornings, and a roof lantern is often the coldest surface in a warm kitchen — so condensation is as common as genuine leaks. We check which you've got before quoting.
We cover Hartlepool as part of County Durham, about 16 miles from Durham.
Neighbouring places we cover include Peterlee (7 miles), Billingham (7 miles), Middlesbrough (8 miles).
What should you expect to pay in Hartlepool?
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?
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.
