How we approach skylight repairs & leak fixes in Lurgan
For Lurgan homes and buildings we offer skylight repairs & leak fixes: leak tracing, resealing, actuator repairs and glass replacement. We measure first, specify to the opening and confirm any planning or building-control points before quoting.
Many Northern Irish homes have later flat-roofed kitchen extensions where an old dome can be swapped for glass. In Lurgan, as anywhere, skylight repairs & leak fixes are the usual choice for rooflights that have stopped opening or started dripping.
Lurgan sits about 4 km from Craigavon and 9 km from Portadown, and we cover the whole BT66 postcode district and the roads in between.
Specification options
- Actuator, motor and control repairs
- Glass unit replacement
- Resealing and re-flashing
- Condensation diagnosis
- Upstand and membrane repairs
- Leak tracing, not guesswork
- Seal and flashing repairs
What to check first
- Repairs are charged — the free survey applies to new installations
- Water tracking can show up far from the source
Consents for skylight repairs & leak fixes in Lurgan
Most rooflights on houses in Northern Ireland are permitted development under Class B, but not in a conservation area or on a listed building's curtilage. A side-facing window within 15 m of a neighbouring boundary must be obscure-glazed, and non-opening unless the opening part is more than 1.7 m above the floor.
Northern Ireland's energy rules assess rooflight U-values in the vertical position — unlike England and Wales — and expect 1.6 W/m²K or Band C for replacements. New dwellings must average 1.40 W/m²K across windows, roof windows and rooflights.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Skylight repairs & leak fixes in Lurgan: questions
Is it condensation or a leak?
Condensation forms on the inside face on cold days and comes back in the same pattern. A leak appears when it rains and often tracks down the reveal.
Can you fix a misted rooflight?
A misted unit means the glass seal has failed. The sealed unit, or the whole rooflight, needs replacing.
Why is my skylight leaking?
Common causes are a failed seal, a membrane that has split or lifted at the upstand, a low upstand, blocked drainage or condensation mistaken for a leak.
Can you work alongside my builder in Lurgan?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
How do I book a survey in Lurgan?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
