We carry out upstand and kerb repairs in Stratford-upon-Avon and across the CV37 area. The upstand, or kerb, is the raised frame the lantern sits on.
Is it time for upstand and kerb repairs?
- Soft or spongy timber at the base of the lantern
- Roof membrane not lapped up the kerb, or peeling off it
- Ponding water against the kerb after rain
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.
About Stratford-upon-Avon and the CV37 area
Leaf fall from garden trees is the most common cause of eaves overflow on suburban extensions. If your lantern sits near trees, clearing the eaves channel each autumn prevents a lot of drips.

Guide prices for upstand and kerb repairs in Stratford-upon-Avon
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.
