We carry out upstand and kerb repairs in Aldershot and across the GU12 area. The upstand, or kerb, is the raised frame the lantern sits on.

Is it time for upstand and kerb repairs?

  • Water appearing below the lantern rather than from the glass
  • Roof membrane not lapped up the kerb, or peeling off it
  • 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.

About Aldershot and the GU12 area

Sun and UV do more damage than rain on many lanterns here: brittle ridge caps, chalky finishes and hardened gaskets. They're cheap to replace before they let water in.

Guide price for upstand and kerb repairs: £395–£1,295 ex VAT (£474–£1,554 inc VAT), per lantern. 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?

In England, like-for-like repairs to a roof lantern don't usually involve building control. A full replacement or a bigger opening is controlled under the Building Regulations 2010, so we set out the route in writing first. 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?
