Flat roof junction and flashing repairs in Dunblane

For flat roof junction and flashing repairs in Dunblane, the job is simple to describe: we re-make the membrane, trims and flashing where the flat roof meets the lantern kerb. Photos first, a guide price back, then a written fixed price.

In Dunblane, as everywhere, the junction where the flat roof covering meets the lantern kerb is a weak point on many extensions. Send photos and we'll tell you what we think has failed.

Newly trimmed flat roof junction and flashing tape around a roof lantern kerb

What you might be seeing

  • Leak near the lantern but not from the frame
  • Missing or loose edge trims and flashings
  • Ponding on the roof next to the lantern

Common causes we find

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.

Covering Dunblane and nearby

Freeze-thaw cycles open up tired sealant and gaskets faster than mild weather does. A spring check after a hard winter catches most problems before they leak.

Dunblane is around 5 miles from Stirling, and both are within our Stirling and Falkirk coverage.

Do you need permission in Scotland?

In Scotland, 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 (Scotland) Regulations 2004, so we set out the route in writing first. Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent from the planning authority for alterations, with Historic Environment Scotland guidance; check before changing a lantern on a listed property.

Flat roof junction and flashing repairs in Dunblane: questions

Do you cover Dunblane?

Yes. We cover Dunblane, including the FK15 postcode area, as part of Stirling and Falkirk. 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.

Do you need to visit to price flat roof junction and flashing repairs?

Not always. Clear photos are often enough for a guide price. Where the cause isn't obvious, a visit to inspect and water-test is charged from £145 ex VAT, confirmed before we come.

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.
