In Rhondda, as everywhere, many uPVC roof lanterns have an aluminium core with uPVC cladding and cappings. Send photos and we'll tell you what we think has failed.
What you might be seeing
- Yellowed or brittle end caps
- Green algae along the bars
- Rattling or whistling in wind
Why it happens
UV ageing
uPVC components become brittle and crack after years of sun.
Clip failure
Clip-on cappings can lose their grip and lift.
Covering Rhondda and nearby
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.
