The junction where the flat roof covering meets the lantern kerb is a weak point on many extensions. Send photos from Kirkcudbright (DG6) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.
What you might be seeing
- Leak near the lantern but not from the frame
- Missing or loose edge trims and flashings
- Ponding on the roof next to the lantern
Why it happens
Unbonded membrane
EPDM or single-ply that has come away from the kerb lets water run behind it.
Missing trims
Without a trim or flashing to protect the top edge, water gets in behind the membrane.

What should you expect to pay in Kirkcudbright?
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 Scotland?
Straightforward repairs — resealing, gaskets, cappings, eaves and like-for-like parts — don't normally need building regulations approval in Scotland. Replacing the whole lantern or enlarging the opening is different and falls under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004; we confirm in writing which route applies before any replacement. Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent from the planning authority for alterations, with Historic Environment Scotland guidance; check before changing a lantern on a listed property.
