Signs you need upstand and kerb repairs

  • Water appearing below the lantern rather than from the glass
  • 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.

Drier, sunnier parts of the UK are kinder to seals than the wet west, but strong sun ages sealant, gaskets and plastic end caps, and south- or west-facing lanterns can make rooms very warm. Solar control glass and an opening vent help.

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.
