Roof Lights Repair
A leaking roof light is almost always the upstand flashing, not the glass, we diagnose it properly before quoting.
Roof light problems usually come down to one of two things: a failed sealed unit causing misting between the panes, which needs replacing, or a flashing/upstand leak at the roof junction, which is a roofing repair rather than a glazing one. Frame drainage blockages can also cause water pooling or ingress at the sill.
Sherford Roofing repairs flat roof lights across Plymouth and Devon, correctly identifying which of these is the actual cause before recommending a fix.
Our Process
Inspect the Rooflight
We check the glazed unit, upstand flashing and drainage to find the actual fault.
Diagnose the Cause
Unit failure, flashing leak or drainage blockage are each identified separately.
Repair the Fault
A failed unit is replaced, or the upstand/flashing is repaired at the roof junction.
Confirm Watertight
The repair is checked to confirm the leak is fully resolved.
