In Craigavon, 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.
Signs you need flat rooflight and skylight repairs
- Water around the rooflight edge
- Ponding on the glass (not enough fall)
- Cracked sealant or a lifted membrane at the upstand
Why it happens
No fall
Flat glass needs a slight fall to shed water; ponding stresses seals.
Unit failure
Edge seals fail and the unit mists.
About Craigavon and the BT62 area
Damp, mild winters keep moss and algae growing on flat roofs and lantern frames, which holds water against seals and blocks weep slots. Regular clearing makes a real difference in wetter areas.
Craigavon is around 13 miles from Armagh, and both are within our County Armagh coverage.
Neighbouring places we cover include Lurgan (3 miles), Portadown (3 miles), Banbridge (8 miles).
How much should it cost?
Typical range: £195–£595 ex VAT, which is £234–£714 with 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 Northern Ireland?
Most lantern repairs in Northern Ireland need no approval at all. Where a job turns into a replacement, the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012 apply and we confirm how the work will be signed off before we start. Listed buildings in Northern Ireland need listed building consent from the council for alterations; check with the council's planning service before changing a lantern on a listed property.

Flat rooflight and skylight repairs in Craigavon: questions

Not always. Clear photos are often enough for a guide price. Where the cause isn't obvious, a visit to inspect and water-test is charged from £145 ex VAT, confirmed before we come.

Walk-on glass is a specialist structural unit; we can measure and specify a replacement from the right manufacturer.
Can you fix a Velux-style roof window?
Our focus is flat rooflights and lanterns; pitched roof windows are a different trade and we'll say so if that's what you have.
