Flat rooflights fail in the same places as lanterns: the seal to the upstand, the roof junction and the glass unit. Send photos from Enniskillen (BT74) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.
What you might be seeing
- Water around the rooflight edge
- Misted glass
- Ponding on the glass (not enough fall)
Why it happens
No fall
Flat glass needs a slight fall to shed water; ponding stresses seals.
Upstand detail
As with lanterns, the membrane must be dressed up and sealed.
About Enniskillen and the BT74 area
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.
We also cover nearby Omagh (22 miles), Strabane (34 miles), Dungannon (37 miles).
What should you expect to pay in Enniskillen?
Guide price for flat rooflight and skylight repairs: £195–£595 ex VAT (£234–£714 inc 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 Enniskillen: questions
How do I get a price for flat rooflight and skylight repairs in Enniskillen?
Send a few photos of the lantern and the problem, with your Enniskillen postcode. We'll reply with a guide price and tell you whether a visit is needed before we can fix the price.
Can you repair a lantern someone else installed in Enniskillen?
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.
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.
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.
