What usually causes it?
Unbonded membrane

Cracked GRP
Fibreglass roofs can crack at the kerb corner where movement concentrates.
Roof lanterns in Gateshead
Colder winters mean more frosty mornings, and a roof lantern is often the coldest surface in a warm kitchen — so condensation is as common as genuine leaks. We check which you've got before quoting.
In built-up areas, access is often the hardest part of the job — through the house, over a neighbour's roof, or with parking restrictions. We plan access in advance and price any tower or scaffold into the quote.
From Newcastle upon Tyne to Gateshead is roughly 1 mile — all part of the Tyne and Wear area we cover.

What should you expect to pay in Gateshead?
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?
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.
