We carry out flat rooflight and skylight repairs in Pwllheli and across the LL53 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
- Misted glass
- 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.
Covering Pwllheli 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.
Pwllheli is around 26 miles from Bangor, Gwynedd, and both are within our Gwynedd coverage.
We also cover nearby Porthmadog (12 miles), Caernarfon (18 miles), Dolgellau (24 miles).
Guide prices for flat rooflight and skylight repairs in Pwllheli
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 Wales?
Most lantern repairs in Wales need no approval at all. Where a job turns into a replacement, the Building Regulations 2010 (as applied in Wales) apply and we confirm how the work will be signed off before we start. Listed buildings in Wales need listed building consent from the local planning authority for alterations, with Cadw guidance on historic buildings; check with the council before changing a lantern on a listed property.
