The junction where the flat roof covering meets the lantern kerb is a weak point on many extensions. Send photos from Halesowen (B63) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.
What you might be seeing
- Splits, blisters or lifted edges in the roof covering by the kerb
- Missing or loose edge trims and flashings
- Ponding on the roof next to the lantern
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 Halesowen
Lanterns in central England see a bit of everything — summer sun that ages seals and end caps, autumn leaf fall that blocks eaves, and frosty mornings that bring condensation. A yearly check covers all three.
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.
Halesowen is around 7 miles from Birmingham, and both are within our West Midlands coverage.
Close by, we also cover Brierley Hill (4 miles), Dudley (4 miles), Stourbridge (4 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.
