Signs you need 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

What usually causes it?

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 Blyth 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.

Blyth is around 8 miles from Morpeth, and both are within our Northumberland coverage.

Close by, we also cover Ashington (4 miles), Cramlington (4 miles), Whitley Bay (7 miles).

How much should it cost?

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

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.

Flat roof junction and flashing repairs in Blyth: questions

How do I get a price for flat roof junction and flashing repairs in Blyth?

Send a few photos of the lantern and the problem, with your Blyth postcode. We'll reply with a guide price and tell you whether a visit is needed before we can fix the price.

Can you repair a lantern someone else installed in Blyth?

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.

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.
