Step-by-Step Installation Process

1. Removal of Existing Flat Roof and Lantern

The project began by stripping back the old flat roof membrane, roof boards, and outdated lantern. This allowed our Milton Keynes roofers to inspect the timber deck structure, ensure structural integrity, and prepare the area for a complete rebuild. All waste materials were safely removed and disposed of responsibly.

2. High-Performance Flat Roofing Installation

Following structural preparation, new OSB roof decking was installed to create a solid foundation. As specialists in flat roofing in Milton Keynes, we applied a heavy-duty, three-layer torch-on felt membrane system:

  • Vapour control layer
  • Reinforced underlay membrane
  • Mineral-finished cap sheet

This system delivers long-term durability, UV resistance, and complete weather protection against harsh British winters.

3. Wendland Roof Lantern Installation

A key element of this project was fitting a high-specification Wendland roof lantern.

  • Frame Finish: Black external frame with a clean white internal finish
  • Glazing: Clear neutral glass with high solar control
  • Design: Contemporary slimline profile for maximum light entry and superior thermal efficiency

The new installation instantly transformed the room below, bringing in natural daylight and creating a bright, open space perfect for kitchen extensions and flat roof living areas.

4. Lead Flashings for Weatherproofing

To guarantee a watertight seal, fresh lead flashings were installed around all roof abutments. Mortar joints were carefully chased out before the lead was dressed and secured into place, providing complete protection between the new flat roof and the adjoining brickwork.
