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

Is it time for 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?

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.

Rotten timber

Untreated or wet timber kerbs rot from inside, so the lantern loses support and the seals open.

Freeze-thaw cycles open up tired sealant and gaskets faster than mild weather does. A spring check after a hard winter catches most problems before they leak.
