Signs you need roof lantern leak repairs

  • Drips from a glazing bar or the eaves beam when it rains
  • Brown staining or bubbling paint on the plasterboard lining around the lantern
  • Water running down the inside face of the glass

What usually causes it?

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.

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.

Colder winters mean more frosty mornings, and a roof lantern is often the coldest surface in a warm kitchen — so condensation is as common as genuine leaks. We check which you've got before quoting.
