Cracked GRP
Fibreglass roofs can crack at the kerb corner where movement concentrates.
About Burnley and the BB11 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.
From Preston to Burnley is roughly 19 miles — all part of the Lancashire area we cover.
Close by, we also cover Nelson (3 miles), Colne (5 miles), Accrington (6 miles).
How much should it cost?
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 England?
In England, like-for-like repairs to a roof lantern don't usually involve building control. A full replacement or a bigger opening is controlled under the Building Regulations 2010, so we set out the route in writing first. 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.
