Is it time for flat roof junction and flashing repairs?

  • 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

Common causes we find

Unbonded membrane

EPDM or single-ply that has come away from the kerb lets water run behind it.

Missing trims

Without a trim or flashing to protect the top edge, water gets in behind the membrane.

About Trowbridge and the BA14 area

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.

From Swindon to Trowbridge is roughly 25 miles — all part of the Wiltshire area we cover.

If you're just outside Trowbridge, we also cover Bath (8 miles), Frome (8 miles), Chippenham (10 miles).

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?

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.
