The junction where the flat roof covering meets the lantern kerb is a weak point on many extensions. Send photos from Coalville (LE67) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.
What you might be seeing
- 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
Why it happens
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 Coalville and the LE67 area
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.
From Leicester to Coalville is roughly 12 miles — all part of the Leicestershire area we cover.
Neighbouring places we cover include Loughborough (8 miles), Swadlincote (9 miles), Leicester (12 miles).
How much should it cost?
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.
