We carry out flat roof junction and flashing repairs in Nottingham and across the NG1 area. The junction where the flat roof covering meets the lantern kerb is a weak point on many extensions.
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
- 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.
About Nottingham and the NG1 area
Lanterns in central England see a bit of everything — summer sun that ages seals and end caps, autumn leaf fall that blocks eaves, and frosty mornings that bring condensation. A yearly check covers all three.
Neighbouring places we cover include West Bridgford (2 miles), Arnold (3 miles), Hucknall (6 miles).
How much should it cost?
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?
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 Nottingham: questions
Do you cover Nottingham?
Yes. We cover Nottingham, including the NG1 postcode area, as part of Nottinghamshire. Send photos by WhatsApp or the form for a free guide price, and we'll confirm the fixed price in writing before any work starts.
Can you repair a lantern someone else installed in Nottingham?
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.
