In Motherwell, 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.
Signs you need flat roof junction and flashing repairs
- Leak near the lantern but not from the frame
- Splits, blisters or lifted edges in the roof covering by the kerb
- Missing or loose edge trims and flashings
Common causes we find
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.
About Motherwell and the ML1 area
Damp, mild winters keep moss and algae growing on flat roofs and lantern frames, which holds water against seals and blocks weep slots. Regular clearing makes a real difference in wetter areas.
Motherwell is around 2 miles from Hamilton, and both are within our Lanarkshire coverage.
