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 from Alloa (FK10) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.
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
Why it happens
Wrong product used
General-purpose or acetoxy silicone can fail early on some frames and coatings. Glazing joints need a low-modulus, compatible sealant.
Patch over patch
Fresh sealant run over old, dirty sealant rarely bonds. It looks fixed for a season and then lets go.

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.
