In Woking, 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.
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
- 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.
Missing trims
Without a trim or flashing to protect the top edge, water gets in behind the membrane.
About Woking and the GU22 area
Sun and UV do more damage than rain on many lanterns here: brittle ridge caps, chalky finishes and hardened gaskets. They're cheap to replace before they let water in.

How much should it cost?
Guide price for flat roof junction and flashing repairs: £245–£695 ex VAT (£294–£834 inc 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.
