Roofer dressing EPDM membrane up the timber kerb under a roof lantern

What you might be seeing

  • Soft or spongy timber at the base of the lantern
  • Roof membrane not lapped up the kerb, or peeling off it
  • Ponding water against the kerb after rain

Why it happens

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.

Covering Lurgan 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.

Straightforward repairs — resealing, gaskets, cappings, eaves and like-for-like parts — don't normally need building regulations approval in Northern Ireland. Replacing the whole lantern or enlarging the opening is different and falls under the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012; we confirm in writing which route applies before any replacement. Listed buildings in Northern Ireland need listed building consent from the council for alterations; check with the council's planning service before changing a lantern on a listed property.
