Why is my skylight leaking?

The most common causes are failed flashing around the frame, perished seals, blocked drainage channels on the skylight, or condensation from poor ventilation. We identify and fix the actual cause.

Can you repair a misted skylight?

If the frame is sound, we can replace the sealed glass unit without replacing the entire skylight. This is significantly cheaper than a full replacement.

Do you repair all skylight brands?

Yes. We repair VELUX, Fakro, Keylite, Roto and other brands. We source genuine replacement parts where available.

Skylights bring natural light into your home but they are exposed to the worst of the weather. Over time, seals perish, flashing fails, glass units mist up and opening mechanisms stick. A leaking skylight left unattended causes ceiling damage, mould and timber rot in the surrounding roof structure.

Common Skylight Problems We Fix

Leaking around the frame or glass, misted or condensation between panes, cracked or damaged glass, failed flashing where the skylight meets the roof, stiff or broken opening mechanisms, and draughty seals letting cold air in. We diagnose the root cause and fix it properly rather than applying temporary seals that fail again within months.

When to Repair vs Replace

If the frame is sound and the leak is caused by failed flashing or seals, a repair is usually the best option. If the frame itself is rotten, warped or the unit is very old, replacement with a modern energy-efficient skylight may be more cost-effective long term. We advise honestly based on what we find.

We carry common VELUX replacement parts and flashing kits on the van, so many skylight repairs in Wisbech are completed on the first visit.
