Flat rooflights fail in the same places as lanterns: the seal to the upstand, the roof junction and the glass unit. We carry out flat rooflight and skylight repairs across Mid Glamorgan, with a guide price from your photos and a fixed price in writing before any work starts.
Signs you need flat rooflight and skylight repairs
- Water around the rooflight edge

- Cracked sealant or a lifted membrane at the upstand
What usually causes it?
No fall

Upstand detail
As with lanterns, the membrane must be dressed up and sealed.
Roof lanterns in Mid Glamorgan
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.

Do you need permission in Wales?
In Wales, 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 2010 (as applied in Wales), so we set out the route in writing first. 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.
