We carry out flat roof junction and flashing repairs in Whitehaven and across the CA28 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
- Splits, blisters or lifted edges in the roof covering by the kerb
- Missing or loose edge trims and flashings
- Ponding on the roof next to the lantern
Common causes we find
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 Whitehaven and nearby
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.
From Carlisle to Whitehaven is roughly 35 miles — all part of the Cumbria area we cover.
Neighbouring places we cover include Workington (7 miles), Barrow-in-Furness (34 miles), Penrith (34 miles).
How much should it cost?
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.

Flat roof junction and flashing repairs in Whitehaven: questions
Can you repair a lantern someone else installed in Whitehaven?
Yes. We repair lanterns whoever fitted them. If yours is still under the installer's warranty, contact them first so you don't affect it.
Which places near Whitehaven do you cover?
As well as Whitehaven, we cover nearby Workington, Barrow-in-Furness, Penrith, Carlisle and the rest of Cumbria.
Do you repair the whole flat roof?
We repair the area around the lantern. If the wider roof is failing we'll tell you and can quote, but we won't push a new roof if a local repair will do.
Can you repair a GRP roof without it showing?
Repairs are colour-matched as closely as possible, but new topcoat next to weathered topcoat can look slightly different at first.
