Is rainwater finding its way through your skylight window even after it was sealed recently? With how often it rains in Lancashire it’s not uncommon for rooflight leaks to show up again if they’re not fixed properly. Especially when Lancashire weather is a mix of coastal winds and heavy downpours, the wind-driven rain gets under flashing more easily than typical rainfall. As a result homeowners often find the same leaks returning despite recent repairs. Without a permanent fix this can cause moisture buildup, corrosion and even black mould risking the health of residents.
If you are dealing with repeated leaks in skylights, you need a roofing solution that thoroughly inspects the area to find all hidden issues like crumbling brickwork poor installation, failed sealing or worn-out surrounding roof material. Once the root cause is found it can be properly fixed so leaks do not return. The good thing is that this is the exact process our roofers follow on-site. Our primary goal is to find out why the leak is happening in the first place and then address the root cause to fix it for the best. This protects a home from further damage and also improves energy efficiency and reduces heat loss in the long run.
Lancashire weather is forever changeable which is why roof windows constantly face heavy rain and strong winds. Because many houses in the area have pitched roofs rain falls sideways instead of top-down. This increases the risk of leaks as water at this angle puts extra pressure on flashing and joints. On the other hand skylight windows for flat roofs also suffer from water pooling which adds stress to the roofing membrane and joints.
In either case, the roof windows are under constant strain which is why our skilled roofers look beyond the surface to determine whether one needs a repair or a replacement. We work on weak areas of the property first and once the surrounding area is strong enough to handle roof lights the team can properly install or restore them.
Rooflight repairs should not be rushed especially on older roofs where the issues mostly lie in the surrounding structure and worn-out flashing. This is particularly common in areas like Burnley, Blackburn, Preston and Accrington where many homes date back to the Victorian era.

Many people think that rooflight installation is just as same as a regular window installation but in reality the two are far from similar. Rooflights require cutting through the roof which if goes wrong even a little can compromise the insulation, energy efficiency and comfort inside the home. As a result poor installation can easily lead to leaks, mould growth and rot.
Whether one needs a new window or wants to upgrade an existing one our experts are just a call away. They will answer all the queries and help in choosing the right solution for the home.
In the first step the team pays a special visit to thoroughly inspect the rooflight. This helps in finding all the hidden issues like leaks, corrosion and insulation problems. If the client wants to install or upgrade their windows the team assesses the roof structure, takes accurate measurements and recommends the most suitable rooflight options. In the end a written report is shared with the client which details everything from materials, transparent quotation and recommendations.
The experts start working on the project and use high-quality materials like glass (double or triple glazed), tempered glass aluminum and uPVC frames. Repairs usually take one or two days depending on the condition of the VELUX skylight window but installation can take more than that. Scaffolding arrangement also plays a role as Lancashire homes are closely built together so access can add extra time before work begins.
After the project is completed the team returns to inspect the skylight unit and see if everything like flashing, frame alignment and sealing is working fine. If anything needs fine-tuning the team sorts it there and then before signing off on the job.

Rooflight windows have a lot of benefits. They look very aesthetic first of all and provide a beautiful window to the sky. But there's more to them.
