The junction where the flat roof covering meets the lantern kerb is a weak point on many extensions. Send photos from Catford (SE6) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.
Is it time for flat roof junction and flashing repairs?

Why it happens
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.
About Catford and the SE6 area
Sun and UV do more damage than rain on many lanterns here: brittle ridge caps, chalky finishes and hardened gaskets. They're cheap to replace before they let water in.
Across London, many lanterns sit on rear extensions with access only through the house, so we protect floors and plan the work to keep time indoors to a minimum. Parking and any permits are factored into the quote.
Catford is around 6 miles from Westminster, and both are within our Greater London coverage.
Neighbouring places we cover include Blackheath (2 miles), Greenwich (2 miles), Beckenham (3 miles).
What should you expect to pay in Catford?
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.
