In Blairgowrie, as everywhere, resealing is the planned, whole-lantern version of a leak repair: we cut out the old, failed sealant, clean every joint back to a sound surface and reseal the cappings, ridge and eaves with materials that suit the frame. Send photos and we'll tell you what we think has failed.

Is it time for roof lantern resealing?

  • Cracked, split or shrunken sealant along the bars
  • Several small leaks rather than one obvious one
  • Sealant applied over sealant from previous patch repairs

What usually causes it?

Sealant past its life

Exposed sealant on a roof takes UV, frost and constant expansion and contraction. It hardens, loses grip and pulls away from the glass.

Patch over patch

Fresh sealant run over old, dirty sealant rarely bonds. It looks fixed for a season and then lets go.

About Blairgowrie and the PH10 area

Freeze-thaw cycles open up tired sealant and gaskets faster than mild weather does. A spring check after a hard winter catches most problems before they leak.
