We carry out roof lantern leak repairs in Mold and across the CH7 area. A roof lantern leak is almost always a failed seal, a lifted capping, blocked eaves drainage or a problem where the kerb meets the flat roof — not a failed lantern.
Is it time for roof lantern leak repairs?
- Drips from a glazing bar or the eaves beam when it rains
- Water running down the inside face of the glass
- A leak that only appears in wind-driven rain from one direction
Why it happens
Failed silicone or glazing tape
UV and thermal movement break down the seal between capping, gasket and glass. Once a gap opens, water tracks along the bar and drops at the lowest point.
The kerb or roof junction
If the flat roof membrane isn't dressed high enough up the kerb, or the kerb has no fall, water sits against the joint and finds its way in under the lantern.
Roof lanterns in Mold
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.
