Is it time for 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
  • Ponding water against the kerb after rain

Why it happens

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.

Even in drier areas, one heavy downpour with blocked eaves is enough to overflow a lantern indoors. Clearing the eaves channel is the simplest prevention there is.

Horley is around 18 miles from Guildford, and both are within our Surrey coverage.

Guide prices for upstand and kerb repairs in Horley

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.
