In Mold, as everywhere, flat rooflights fail in the same places as lanterns: the seal to the upstand, the roof junction and the glass unit. Send photos and we'll tell you what we think has failed.
Is it time for flat rooflight and skylight repairs?
- Water around the rooflight edge
- Misted glass
- Cracked sealant or a lifted membrane at the upstand
Common causes we find
Upstand detail
As with lanterns, the membrane must be dressed up and sealed.
Unit failure
Edge seals fail and the unit mists.
Roof lanterns in Mold
Western and upland parts of the UK get more rain and more wind-driven rain than the east, and that's what finds weak cappings and blocked eaves first. Lanterns here benefit from a check of the bars on the most exposed face and a clear eaves channel before winter.
From Wrexham to Mold is roughly 10 miles — all part of the Clwyd area we cover.
Close by, we also cover Buckley (2 miles), Deeside (5 miles), Flint (5 miles).
Guide prices for flat rooflight and skylight repairs in Mold
Most flat rooflight and skylight repairs jobs come in between £195 and £595 ex VAT (£234–£714 including VAT), per rooflight. 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 Wales?
Most lantern repairs in Wales need no approval at all. Where a job turns into a replacement, the Building Regulations 2010 (as applied in Wales) apply and we confirm how the work will be signed off before we start. Listed buildings in Wales need listed building consent from the local planning authority for alterations, with Cadw guidance on historic buildings; check with the council before changing a lantern on a listed property.

Flat rooflight and skylight repairs in Mold: questions
Can you repair a lantern someone else installed in Mold?
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 Mold do you cover?
As well as Mold, we cover nearby Buckley, Deeside, Flint, Ruthin and the rest of Clwyd.
Do you replace walk-on rooflight glass?
Walk-on glass is a specialist structural unit; we can measure and specify a replacement from the right manufacturer.
