In Yate, as everywhere, the junction where the flat roof covering meets the lantern kerb is a weak point on many extensions. Send photos and we'll tell you what we think has failed.
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
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.
Roof lanterns in Yate
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.
We cover Yate as part of Gloucestershire, about 24 miles from Gloucester.
Neighbouring places we cover include Bristol (10 miles), Bath (12 miles), Chippenham (14 miles).
Guide prices for flat roof junction and flashing repairs in Yate
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 England?
Straightforward repairs — resealing, gaskets, cappings, eaves and like-for-like parts — don't normally need building regulations approval in England. Replacing the whole lantern or enlarging the opening is different and falls under the Building Regulations 2010; we confirm in writing which route applies before any replacement. 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.
