Is it time for 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.

Roof lanterns in Oadby

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.

We cover Oadby as part of Leicestershire, about 3 miles from Leicester.

How much should it cost?

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

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.

Flat roof junction and flashing repairs in Oadby: questions

Can you repair a lantern someone else installed in Oadby?

Yes. We repair lanterns whoever fitted them. If yours is still under the installer's warranty, contact them first so you don't affect it.

Which places near Oadby do you cover?

As well as Oadby, we cover nearby Wigston, Leicester, Market Harborough, Loughborough and the rest of Leicestershire.

Do you repair the whole flat roof?

We repair the area around the lantern. If the wider roof is failing we'll tell you and can quote, but we won't push a new roof if a local repair will do.

Can you repair a GRP roof without it showing?

Repairs are colour-matched as closely as possible, but new topcoat next to weathered topcoat can look slightly different at first.
