Common Skylight Problems

What's Actually Causing the Problem?

A leak or problem around a skylight isn't always caused by the same thing. The first step is working out what's actually happening before deciding how to fix it.

Ageing skylight flashing and seals on a corrugated roof

Ageing Flashing & Seals

Over time, flashing and seals around an existing skylight can deteriorate and become a potential source of water ingress.

Leaves and debris collected around a skylight on a roof

Debris Build-Up

Particularly on tiled roofs, leaves and debris can collect in the drainage channels around a skylight and interfere with the way water flows around the flashing.

Cracked and weathered acrylic skylight dome

Cracked or Damaged Domes

Damage to an acrylic skylight dome isn't always obvious from inside the home. Depending on the system, the dome and retaining trims can often be replaced without replacing everything below.

It Might Not Be the Skylight

Water appearing near a skylight doesn't automatically mean the skylight is leaking. Cracked roof tiles, ageing antenna penetrations and other nearby roof issues can sometimes be the actual source. That's why we inspect the surrounding roof area too.

Finding the source matters. We'll assess the skylight and surrounding roof area before recommending a repair or replacement.

Repair or Replace?

Fix the Problem — Not Just the Symptom

Repair when it makes sense. Replace when it doesn't.

Not every leaking skylight needs replacing, but repeatedly adding more silicone isn't always a good long-term repair either. We'll inspect the dome, flashing, seals and surrounding roof area before recommending what to do next.

Repair & Maintenance

Where the existing skylight is still in reasonable condition, cleaning, maintenance, dome replacement or targeted repair may be the practical option.

Roof-Level Replacement

For ageing, heavily deteriorated or repeatedly resealed skylights, replacing the roof-level components — such as the flashing and dome — can often make more sense than continuing to patch the old system.

Older doesn't always mean starting again. Many existing skylight systems can be upgraded at roof level while retaining suitable components inside the home.
