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
  • Ponding water against the kerb after rain

Common causes we find

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.

Covering Salisbury and nearby

Lanterns in central England see a bit of everything — summer sun that ages seals and end caps, autumn leaf fall that blocks eaves, and frosty mornings that bring condensation. A yearly check covers all three.

We cover Salisbury as part of Wiltshire, about 34 miles from Swindon.

If you're just outside Salisbury, we also cover Andover (16 miles), Totton (17 miles), Southampton (20 miles).

Guide prices for upstand and kerb repairs in Salisbury

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

Typical range: £395–£1,295 ex VAT, which is £474–£1,554 with 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 Salisbury: questions

How do I get a price for upstand and kerb repairs in Salisbury?

Send a few photos of the lantern and the problem, with your Salisbury postcode. We'll reply with a guide price and tell you whether a visit is needed before we can fix the price.

Which places near Salisbury do you cover?

As well as Salisbury, we cover nearby Andover, Totton, Southampton, Eastleigh and the rest of Wiltshire.

Can you add insulation to the kerb?

Will my ceiling need repairing?

If water has soaked the lining it may need making good after the leak is fixed; we can advise, but internal decorating isn't included unless quoted.
