We carry out upstand and kerb repairs in Llandrindod Wells and across the LD1 area. The upstand, or kerb, is the raised frame the lantern sits on.

What you might be seeing

  • 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.

What should you expect to pay in Llandrindod Wells?

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 Wales?

In Wales, 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 (as applied in Wales), so we set out the route in writing first. Listed buildings in Wales need listed building consent from the local planning authority for alterations, with Cadw guidance on historic buildings; check with the council before changing a lantern on a listed property.

Typically £395–£1,295 ex VAT depending on size, timber condition and the roof covering. The fixed price is confirmed in writing before work starts.
