In Evesham, 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.

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
  • Cold, damp or mouldy lining around the opening

What usually causes it?

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.

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.

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.

Upstand and kerb repairs in Evesham: questions

Can you repair a lantern someone else installed in Evesham?

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.

Which places near Evesham do you cover?

As well as Evesham, we cover nearby Tewkesbury, Stratford-upon-Avon, Worcester, Cheltenham and the rest of Worcestershire.

Can you add insulation to the kerb?

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

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.
