We carry out flat roof junction and flashing repairs in Taunton and across the TA1 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.
Cracked GRP
Fibreglass roofs can crack at the kerb corner where movement concentrates.
Roof lanterns in Taunton
Damp, mild winters keep moss and algae growing on flat roofs and lantern frames, which holds water against seals and blocks weep slots. Regular clearing makes a real difference in wetter areas.
We also cover nearby Bridgwater (9 miles), Burnham-on-Sea (16 miles), Tiverton (19 miles).
What should you expect to pay in Taunton?
Most flat roof junction and flashing repairs jobs come in between £245 and £695 ex VAT (£294–£834 including 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?
Straightforward repairs — resealing, gaskets, cappings, eaves and like-for-like parts — don't normally need building regulations approval in England. Replacing the whole lantern or enlarging the opening is different and falls under the Building Regulations 2010; we confirm in writing which route applies before any replacement. 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.

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.

Repairs are colour-matched as closely as possible, but new topcoat next to weathered topcoat can look slightly different at first.
