The junction where the flat roof covering meets the lantern kerb is a weak point on many extensions. Send photos from Stratford-upon-Avon (CV37) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.

- 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.
Covering Stratford-upon-Avon and nearby
Leaf fall from garden trees is the most common cause of eaves overflow on suburban extensions. If your lantern sits near trees, clearing the eaves channel each autumn prevents a lot of drips.
We cover Stratford-upon-Avon as part of Warwickshire, about 8 miles from Warwick.
If you're just outside Stratford-upon-Avon, we also cover Warwick (8 miles), Leamington Spa (10 miles), Kenilworth (12 miles).
How much should it cost?
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?
Straightforward repairs — resealing, gaskets, cappings, eaves and like-for-like parts — don't normally need building regulations approval in England. Replacing the whole lantern or enlarging the opening is different and falls under the Building Regulations 2010; we confirm in writing which route applies before any replacement. 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.
