We carry out flat rooflight and skylight repairs in Antrim and across the BT41 area. Flat rooflights fail in the same places as lanterns: the seal to the upstand, the roof junction and the glass unit.
What you might be seeing
- Water around the rooflight edge
- Ponding on the glass (not enough fall)
- Cracked sealant or a lifted membrane at the upstand
Why it happens
Upstand detail
As with lanterns, the membrane must be dressed up and sealed.
Unit failure
Edge seals fail and the unit mists.
Covering Antrim and nearby
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.
Near the coast, salt in the air is hard on aluminium finishes and fixings; washing the frame occasionally and touching in chips keeps corrosion away.
We cover Antrim as part of County Antrim, about 13 miles from Belfast.
Neighbouring places we cover include Ballymena (12 miles), Newtownabbey (12 miles), Belfast (13 miles).
