We carry out flat roof junction and flashing repairs in Batley and across the WF17 area. The junction where the flat roof covering meets the lantern kerb is a weak point on many extensions.
Is it time for flat roof junction and flashing repairs?
- 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
What usually causes it?
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 Batley
Western and upland parts of the UK get more rain and more wind-driven rain than the east, and that's what finds weak cappings and blocked eaves first. Lanterns here benefit from a check of the bars on the most exposed face and a clear eaves channel before winter.
Urban grime and traffic film dull glass and frames quickly; a clean and seal check makes a tired lantern look and perform much better.
Batley is around 7 miles from Leeds, and both are within our West Yorkshire coverage.
Close by, we also cover Dewsbury (1 mile), Ossett (3 miles), Morley (3 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?
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.

Flat roof junction and flashing repairs in Batley: questions
Can you repair a lantern someone else installed in Batley?
Yes. We repair lanterns whoever fitted them. If yours is still under the installer's warranty, contact them first so you don't affect it.
Which places near Batley do you cover?
As well as Batley, we cover nearby Dewsbury, Ossett, Morley, Cleckheaton and the rest of West Yorkshire.
Do you repair the whole flat roof?
We repair the area around the lantern. If the wider roof is failing we'll tell you and can quote, but we won't push a new roof if a local repair will do.
Can you repair a GRP roof without it showing?
Repairs are colour-matched as closely as possible, but new topcoat next to weathered topcoat can look slightly different at first.
