Flat rooflights fail in the same places as lanterns: the seal to the upstand, the roof junction and the glass unit. Send photos from Yeovil (BA20) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.
What you might be seeing
- Water around the rooflight edge
- Misted glass
- Ponding on the glass (not enough fall)
Common causes we find
No fall
Flat glass needs a slight fall to shed water; ponding stresses seals.
Upstand detail
As with lanterns, the membrane must be dressed up and sealed.
Covering Yeovil and nearby
Damp, mild winters keep moss and algae growing on flat roofs and lantern frames, which holds water against seals and blocks weep slots. Regular clearing makes a real difference in wetter areas.
We cover Yeovil as part of Somerset, about 21 miles from Taunton.
If you're just outside Yeovil, we also cover Bridgwater (21 miles), Taunton (21 miles), Weymouth (24 miles).
Guide prices for flat rooflight and skylight repairs in Yeovil
Typical range: £195–£595 ex VAT, which is £234–£714 with VAT, per rooflight. 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?
Most lantern repairs in England need no approval at all. Where a job turns into a replacement, the Building Regulations 2010 apply and we confirm how the work will be signed off before we start. 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.
