We carry out flat rooflight and skylight repairs in Newtownards and across the BT22 area. Flat rooflights fail in the same places as lanterns: the seal to the upstand, the roof junction and the glass unit.
Signs you need flat rooflight and skylight repairs
- Water around the rooflight edge
- Misted glass
- Ponding on the glass (not enough fall)
What usually causes it?
Upstand detail
As with lanterns, the membrane must be dressed up and sealed.
Unit failure
Edge seals fail and the unit mists.
Covering Newtownards and nearby
Wind-driven rain is the real test of a roof lantern, and the wetter west sees plenty of it. Leaks that appear only in a storm from one direction usually point to the cappings or eaves on that face — a useful clue when you send us photos.
Coastal wind drives rain hard against lanterns, so cappings and ridge seals on the seaward face take the most punishment.
From Newry to Newtownards is roughly 39 miles — all part of the County Down area we cover.
Neighbouring places we cover include Bangor, Down (5 miles), Holywood (6 miles), Belfast (9 miles).
