Signs you need upstand and kerb repairs

  • Soft or spongy timber at the base of the lantern
  • 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.

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 Cambuslang and the G72 area

Western and upland parts of the UK get more rain and more wind-driven rain than the east, and that's what finds weak cappings and blocked eaves first. Lanterns here benefit from a check of the bars on the most exposed face and a clear eaves channel before winter.

From Hamilton to Cambuslang is roughly 6 miles — all part of the Lanarkshire area we cover.
