  • Splits, blisters or lifted edges in the roof covering by the kerb

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 Northumberland

Snow and ice sitting at the eaves can block a lantern's drainage and push water back under the glass as it melts. If your lantern leaks after a thaw rather than after rain, tell us — it points to the eaves and kerb.

Coastal wind drives rain hard against lanterns, so cappings and ridge seals on the seaward face take the most punishment.

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.
