We carry out flat roof junction and flashing repairs in Jarrow and across the NE32 area. The junction where the flat roof covering meets the lantern kerb is a weak point on many extensions.
What you might be seeing
- 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
Why it happens
Cracked GRP
Fibreglass roofs can crack at the kerb corner where movement concentrates.
Missing trims
Without a trim or flashing to protect the top edge, water gets in behind the membrane.
Roof lanterns in Jarrow
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.
Urban grime and traffic film dull glass and frames quickly; a clean and seal check makes a tired lantern look and perform much better.
We cover Jarrow as part of Tyne and Wear, about 5 miles from Newcastle upon Tyne.
We also cover nearby Hebburn (1 mile), Wallsend (2 miles), South Shields (2 miles).

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.
