Bring natural light into hallways, bathrooms and living areas, or fix an old skylight that leaks every time it rains.

Older terracotta tiled roof with a skylight

Overview

Skylights done properly

A skylight is one of the simplest ways to brighten a dark room. Installed well, it lets in light without letting in water. Installed badly, or left to age, it becomes a common source of leaks.

We install new skylights in tile and metal roofs, replace old ones, and repair the flashings and seals around skylights that leak.

  • Cracked, cloudy or yellowed dome or glass
  • Condensation that runs down the shaft
  • Rusted or lifted flashings around the skylight

Our approach

How we handle skylights

  1. Inspect

    We check the roof, the ceiling space and the room to work out the best position and size.

  2. Quote in writing

    You receive a written quote with the product, scope and price.

  3. Install

    The skylight is installed, flashed into the roof and sealed.

  4. Finish

    The roof is checked for water-tightness and the site cleaned up.

Local knowledge

Skylights in coastal homes

Many Northern Beaches homes have deep floor plans or hallways with no windows, which makes them good candidates for a skylight. Near the coast, we choose flashing materials suited to salt air.

Questions

Skylights FAQs

More questions? See the Roofing services page or call us on 0416 069 926.

Can you fix a leaking skylight without replacing it?

Often, yes. Many skylight leaks come from failed flashings or seals rather than the skylight itself. If the unit is cracked or worn out, replacement may be better value.

Do skylights make rooms hot?

They can let in heat as well as light. Choosing the right size, position and glazing helps. We can talk through options at the inspection.
