We carry out roof lantern leak repairs in Tredegar and across the NP22 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?
- Brown staining or bubbling paint on the plasterboard lining around the lantern
- 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.
Blocked eaves drainage
Most lanterns collect water in a channel inside the eaves beam and let it out through weep slots. Leaves, moss and grit block the slots and the channel overflows indoors.

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.
