We carry out flat roof junction and flashing repairs in Burton upon Trent and across the DE14 area. The junction where the flat roof covering meets the lantern kerb is a weak point on many extensions.
What you might be seeing
- Splits, blisters or lifted edges in the roof covering by the kerb
- 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.
Cracked GRP
Fibreglass roofs can crack at the kerb corner where movement concentrates.

What should you expect to pay in Burton upon Trent?

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.

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.
