We carry out upstand and kerb repairs in Inverurie and across the AB51 area. The upstand, or kerb, is the raised frame the lantern sits on.

What you might be seeing

  • Roof membrane not lapped up the kerb, or peeling off it
  • Ponding water against the kerb after rain
  • Cold, damp or mouldy lining around the opening

Common causes we find

Kerb too low

If the kerb doesn't rise enough above the finished roof, water sits against the joint during heavy rain.

Membrane not dressed up

The flat roof covering should run up the kerb and be trimmed or flashed. If it stops short, water gets behind it.

About Inverurie and the AB51 area

Snow and ice sitting at the eaves can block a lantern's drainage and push water back under the glass as it melts. If your lantern leaks after a thaw rather than after rain, tell us — it points to the eaves and kerb.

Coastal wind drives rain hard against lanterns, so cappings and ridge seals on the seaward face take the most punishment.

Inverurie is around 14 miles from Aberdeen, and both are within our Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire coverage.
