Signs you need upstand and kerb repairs

  • 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.

Rotten timber

Untreated or wet timber kerbs rot from inside, so the lantern loses support and the seals open.

How much should it cost?

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?

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.
