Signs you need flat roof junction and flashing repairs

- 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 Wigston and the LE18 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.

Guide prices for flat roof junction and flashing repairs in Wigston
Guide price for flat roof junction and flashing repairs: £245–£695 ex VAT (£294–£834 inc 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.
