In Lossiemouth, as everywhere, the junction where the flat roof covering meets the lantern kerb is a weak point on many extensions. Send photos and we'll tell you what we think has failed.
Is it time for flat roof junction and flashing repairs?
- Leak near the lantern but not from the frame
- Missing or loose edge trims and flashings
- Ponding on the roof next to the lantern
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.
Covering Lossiemouth and nearby
Colder winters mean more frosty mornings, and a roof lantern is often the coldest surface in a warm kitchen — so condensation is as common as genuine leaks. We check which you've got before quoting.
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 Lossiemouth as part of Moray, about 5 miles from Elgin.
If you're just outside Lossiemouth, we also cover Elgin (5 miles), Buckie (12 miles), Forres (15 miles).
How much should it cost?
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 Scotland?
Straightforward repairs — resealing, gaskets, cappings, eaves and like-for-like parts — don't normally need building regulations approval in Scotland. Replacing the whole lantern or enlarging the opening is different and falls under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004; we confirm in writing which route applies before any replacement. Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent from the planning authority for alterations, with Historic Environment Scotland guidance; check before changing a lantern on a listed property.
