Let the light in, without letting the rain in

A roof window transforms a dark loft, landing or kitchen extension. It is one of the cheapest ways to make a room feel twice the size. The catch is that a skylight is a hole in your roof, so it lives or dies on how well it is fitted. Get the flashing kit right and it will stay watertight for decades. Get it wrong and you will be chasing a leak every winter.

We fit and repair skylights and roof windows across Norwich and Norfolk, on pitched and flat roofs. Whether you want a new one putting in, an old misted unit swapping out, or a leak around the frame sorting, we can help.

Worth a look

Signs your skylight needs attention

  • Water or damp staining around the inside of the frame
  • Misted or cloudy glass where the seal has failed
  • Draughts coming in around the edges
  • The window sticks, will not close or the handle has gone
  • Rotten or flaking timber on an older frame
  • Damp patches on the ceiling near the opening

Why most skylight leaks are a flashing problem

People often blame the window itself, but nine times out of ten the leak is where the roof meets the frame. Every roof window needs the correct flashing kit for the covering it sits in, whether that is slate, plain tile or a deep Norfolk pantile. A generic kit or a bit of sealant will not hold. We fit the right kit for your roof and dress the leadwork in properly, which is what keeps it dry.

Replacing an old roof window

If your skylight is decades old, misted up or draughty, you do not usually need a new roof to replace it. In most cases we can swap the unit and re-flash the opening in a day, leaving you with a modern, better insulated window that actually opens. If the surrounding timbers or tiles have suffered from a long-running leak, we will tell you what needs making good first.

Skylights & Roof Windows questions

Do skylights always leak eventually?
No. A properly fitted roof window with the correct flashing kit for your roof covering stays watertight for decades. Nearly every leak we are called to is down to a poor flashing detail or sealant used where lead should be.
Can you replace an old skylight without replacing the roof?
Usually yes. We can normally swap the unit and re-flash the opening without touching the rest of the roof, often in a day. If a long-running leak has damaged the timbers or tiles around it, we will make that good first.
Can you fit a skylight on a flat roof?
Yes. Flat roofs take rooflights or lanterns, which sit on an upstand so water drains around them. We fit these as part of new fibreglass and rubber flat roofs, or into an existing sound flat roof.
Do I need building regulations approval?
For a straightforward like-for-like replacement, usually not. For a new opening it can apply, and we will tell you honestly where you stand before we start rather than after.
