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. Send photos from Blairgowrie (PH10) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.

Rainwater running down an internal glazing bar of a roof lantern above a kitchen

What you might be seeing

  • Brown staining or bubbling paint on the plasterboard lining around the lantern
  • Damp patches on the ceiling a short distance from the lantern
  • A leak that only appears in wind-driven rain from one direction

Why it happens

Lifted or misaligned cappings

Top cappings clip or screw over each glazing bar. If one has lifted, been knocked or was never seated, rain gets straight under it.

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.

Roof lanterns in Blairgowrie

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.
