We carry out flat rooflight and skylight repairs in Strabane and across the BT82 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
- Misted glass
- 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.
Upstand detail
As with lanterns, the membrane must be dressed up and sealed.
About Strabane and the BT82 area
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.
We cover Strabane as part of County Tyrone, about 17 miles from Omagh.
We also cover nearby Derry~Londonderry (14 miles), Omagh (17 miles), Limavady (26 miles).

Do you need permission in Northern Ireland?
In Northern Ireland, like-for-like repairs to a roof lantern don't usually involve building control. A full replacement or a bigger opening is controlled under the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012, so we set out the route in writing first. 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.
