We carry out flat roof junction and flashing repairs in Torquay and across the TQ2 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

What usually causes it?
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.
About Torquay and the TQ2 area
Western and upland parts of the UK get more rain and more wind-driven rain than the east, and that's what finds weak cappings and blocked eaves first. Lanterns here benefit from a check of the bars on the most exposed face and a clear eaves channel before winter.
Coastal wind drives rain hard against lanterns, so cappings and ridge seals on the seaward face take the most punishment.
Torquay is around 18 miles from Exeter, and both are within our Devon coverage.
We also cover nearby Paignton (3 miles), Newton Abbot (6 miles), Exmouth (12 miles).
How much should it cost?
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.
