A skylight that drips during a storm, a dome that has clouded over, or a pane that has cracked in the sun are all fixable problems, but only if they are diagnosed properly. Patching the wrong spot on a leaking skylight often means calling someone back out a few months later for the same problem.
What Skylight Repair Problems Do You Have?
Leaks are the most common call we get, and they are not always coming from where the water shows up inside. A cracked seal, a lifted flashing edge, or a failed gasket can send water travelling along a rafter before it drips somewhere else entirely, which is why a proper inspection matters more than a quick patch.
Condensation between the panes of a double-glazed skylight, yellowing or clouding on an older plastic dome, and cracks from hail impact are the other issues we see most often across Gauteng. Each of these has a different fix, from a simple reseal to a full unit replacement.
Highveld hailstorm season, from October to March, is responsible for a large share of the repair calls we get, since a hard hail strike can crack a dome or dent a frame even on a well-installed skylight.
How We Repair Skylights
We start by getting up on the roof to find the actual source of the problem, not just the point where water is showing up inside. Depending on what we find, the fix might be as simple as resealing the flashing, replacing a cracked pane of glazing, or, where the unit has genuinely reached the end of its life, a full replacement.
We will always tell you honestly which of these your skylight needs, rather than defaulting to the most expensive option. Repair work is backed by the same guarantee on workmanship and materials as a new installation.
Skylight Repairs for Gauteng Homes and Businesses
We repair skylights on pitched, flat, tiled, and IBR roofs across Johannesburg, Pretoria, East Rand, West Rand, North Rand, South Rand, Centurion, and Midrand. Gauteng’s hailstorm season puts real pressure on older or poorly sealed skylights, and we see a clear spike in repair calls every year once the storms start.
Older homes across Johannesburg and Pretoria suburbs often have skylights fitted decades ago, which have usually reached the point where a proper repair, or in some cases a replacement, makes more sense than another temporary patch.
Skylight Repair Questions
Q. My skylight is leaking, does it need a full replacement?
Not always. Many leaks are fixed with a proper reseal or a flashing repair. We assess the actual cause before recommending anything more involved.
Q. Can you repair hail damage?
Yes. Cracked domes and dented frames from hail are one of the most common repairs we handle, especially during and after storm season.
Q. Do you charge just to come and look?
No. We assess the skylight and give you a written quote at no charge, so you know the cost before any work is booked in.
