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
  • Ponding on the roof next to the lantern

What usually causes it?

Unbonded membrane

EPDM or single-ply that has come away from the kerb lets water run behind it.

Cracked GRP

Fibreglass roofs can crack at the kerb corner where movement concentrates.

Roof lanterns in Prescot

Wind-driven rain is the real test of a roof lantern, and the wetter west sees plenty of it. Leaks that appear only in a storm from one direction usually point to the cappings or eaves on that face — a useful clue when you send us photos.

Urban grime and traffic film dull glass and frames quickly; a clean and seal check makes a tired lantern look and perform much better.

Near the coast, salt in the air is hard on aluminium finishes and fixings; washing the frame occasionally and touching in chips keeps corrosion away.

We cover Prescot as part of Merseyside, about 7 miles from Liverpool.

How much should it cost?

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

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?

Most lantern repairs in England need no approval at all. Where a job turns into a replacement, the Building Regulations 2010 apply and we confirm how the work will be signed off before we start. 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.
