Flat rooflights fail in the same places as lanterns: the seal to the upstand, the roof junction and the glass unit. Send photos from Crieff (PH7) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.
Is it time for flat rooflight and skylight repairs?
- Water around the rooflight edge
- Misted glass
- Cracked sealant or a lifted membrane at the upstand
Common causes we find
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 Crieff and nearby
Snow and ice sitting at the eaves can block a lantern's drainage and push water back under the glass as it melts. If your lantern leaks after a thaw rather than after rain, tell us — it points to the eaves and kerb.
