Signs you need flat roof junction and flashing repairs

  • Leak near the lantern but not from the frame
  • 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 Stevenage and nearby

Leaf fall from garden trees is the most common cause of eaves overflow on suburban extensions. If your lantern sits near trees, clearing the eaves channel each autumn prevents a lot of drips.

Guide prices for flat roof junction and flashing repairs in Stevenage

Guide price, per lantern£245–£695 ex VAT£294–£834 inc VAT

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?

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.
