Is it time for upstand and kerb repairs?

  • Soft or spongy timber at the base of the lantern
  • Roof membrane not lapped up the kerb, or peeling off it
  • 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.

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.
