In Warwick, as everywhere, the upstand, or kerb, is the raised frame the lantern sits on. Send photos and we'll tell you what we think has failed.

What you might be seeing

  • Water appearing below the lantern rather than from the glass
  • Ponding water against the kerb after rain
  • Cold, damp or mouldy lining around the opening

Why it happens

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.

Covering Warwick and nearby

Most inland lantern leaks aren't storm damage; they're usually tired sealant, a lifted capping or blocked eaves drainage. All three are quick to find and fix once you know where to look.

We also cover nearby Leamington Spa (3 miles), Kenilworth (5 miles), Stratford-upon-Avon (8 miles).

How much should it cost?

Guide price, per lantern£395–£1,295 ex VAT£474–£1,554 inc VAT

Guide price for upstand and kerb repairs: £395–£1,295 ex VAT (£474–£1,554 inc 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?

Straightforward repairs — resealing, gaskets, cappings, eaves and like-for-like parts — don't normally need building regulations approval in England. Replacing the whole lantern or enlarging the opening is different and falls under the Building Regulations 2010; we confirm in writing which route applies before any replacement. 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.

Upstand and kerb repairs in Warwick: questions

Can you repair a lantern someone else installed in Warwick?

Yes. We repair lanterns whoever fitted them. If yours is still under the installer's warranty, contact them first so you don't affect it.

As well as Warwick, we cover nearby Leamington Spa, Kenilworth, Stratford-upon-Avon, Coventry and the rest of Warwickshire.

How much does an upstand repair cost?

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.

Can you add insulation to the kerb?

Yes. Insulated kerbs reduce cold bridging and help with condensation around the opening.
