Precision Repair & Sealing for Skylights in Cork

Skylights and roof windows are fantastic additions, flooding your upper floors with natural light. However, their integration into the roof structure creates vulnerable junctions where the glass meets the roofing material.

When seals fail, flashings corrode, or condensation sets in, skylights become a persistent source of annoying, hard-to-fix leaks.

At Storm Tech Roofing, we are Cork's dedicated specialists in Skylight Repairs Cork—including all major brands like Velux. We use non-invasive techniques to diagnose the exact source of failure, whether it's faulty installation, deteriorated seals, or compromised external flashing.

We provide guaranteed, precise repairs that stop the leak and restore your skylight's function and thermal efficiency.

The Specialized Nature of Skylight Repairs

Repairing a skylight is very different from fixing a tile or slate leak. It requires knowledge of both roofing principles (flashing) and window mechanics (seals, drainage channels). Improper repairs can lead to damage to the window frame itself, which is often difficult and expensive to replace.

Failed External Flashing

This is the most frequent cause. The metal flashing (often lead or aluminium) that integrates the window into the roof tiles lifts, cracks, or corrodes, allowing water to bypass the seal. The leak appears at the top or sides of the frame.

Perished Rubber Gaskets

The rubber or foam gaskets that cushion and seal the glass panel and the frame deteriorate over time due to constant UV exposure and the freeze-thaw cycle, allowing water to seep directly through the seal.

Condensation Issues

Water appearing on the inside of the glass is often condensation caused by poor attic ventilation or a compromised internal vapour barrier, not a roofing leak. We diagnose this difference and advise on the correct ventilation solution.

Frame and Frame Rot

On older timber-framed windows, prolonged exposure to dampness due to poor seals can cause the frame to rot, compromising both the window's function and its watertight seal.

Frequently Asked Questions

While Velux is the most common brand, our expertise extends to all major roof window manufacturers and custom skylight installations. We source compatible seals and materials for all types.

No. While flashing failure is common, sometimes the leak is due to perished rubber gaskets holding the glass panel, or a failure of the seal between the window's frame and the roof opening. We diagnose the exact cause before quoting any work.

A true leak will usually be cold, wet, and appear during or shortly after rain. Condensation (which looks like dampness or water inside the glass) appears when warm, moist air inside the room hits the cold glass surface. We can advise on simple ventilation solutions for condensation issues.

Most standard flashing and seal repairs can be completed in less than half a day by our specialist team, minimizing disruption to your home.
