Signs you need 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

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.

Roof lanterns in Trowbridge

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 Trowbridge as part of Wiltshire, about 25 miles from Swindon.

Guide prices for upstand and kerb repairs in Trowbridge

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.
