We carry out upstand and kerb repairs in Bracknell and across the RG12 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

What usually causes it?

Kerb too low

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

Rotten timber

Untreated or wet timber kerbs rot from inside, so the lantern loses support and the seals open.

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.

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.

Can you add insulation to the kerb?
