Signs you need upstand and kerb repairs

  • Water appearing below the lantern rather than from the glass
  • Soft or spongy timber at the base of the lantern
  • Roof membrane not lapped up the kerb, or peeling off it

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.

Covering Thornton-Cleveleys and nearby

Wind-driven rain is the real test of a roof lantern, and the wetter west sees plenty of it. Leaks that appear only in a storm from one direction usually point to the cappings or eaves on that face — a useful clue when you send us photos.

We cover Thornton-Cleveleys as part of Lancashire, about 15 miles from Preston.

We also cover nearby Fleetwood (4 miles), Blackpool (4 miles), Lytham St Annes (9 miles).

How much should it cost?

Guide price, per lantern£395–£1,295 ex VAT£474–£1,554 inc VAT

Most upstand and kerb repairs jobs come in between £395 and £1,295 ex VAT (£474–£1,554 including 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?

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.

If water has soaked the lining it may need making good after the leak is fixed; we can advise, but internal decorating isn't included unless quoted.
