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

Common causes we find

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 Sudbury and the CO10 area

Even in drier areas, one heavy downpour with blocked eaves is enough to overflow a lantern indoors. Clearing the eaves channel is the simplest prevention there is.

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.

From Ipswich to Sudbury is roughly 18 miles — all part of the Suffolk area we cover.

What should you expect to pay in Sudbury?

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

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?

Most lantern repairs in England need no approval at all. Where a job turns into a replacement, the Building Regulations 2010 apply and we confirm how the work will be signed off before we start. 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.
