Flat rooflights fail in the same places as lanterns: the seal to the upstand, the roof junction and the glass unit. Send photos from Droitwich (WR9) 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
- Cracked sealant or a lifted membrane at the upstand
Why it happens
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 Droitwich and nearby
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.
Droitwich is around 6 miles from Worcester, and both are within our Worcestershire coverage.
If you're just outside Droitwich, we also cover Bromsgrove (6 miles), Worcester (6 miles), Stourport-on-Severn (7 miles).
How much should it cost?
Guide price for flat rooflight and skylight repairs: £195–£595 ex VAT (£234–£714 inc 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.
