Auckland's high rainfall, coastal exposure and low pitch roofing design can create ongoing skylight leak risks if roof's, flashing systems or skylights are poorly installed or not maintained. Finding a leak in your roof from a skylight or sun tunnel can be a stressful problem to solve if you don't have the necessary expertise. At Auckland Skylights, our team has over 30 years of experience in skylight leak repair and maintenance. For all skylight leak finding and repair jobs, our team completes a thorough inspection to identify not just the location of the leak, but more importantly the root cause. We then advise our clients of the best solution to fix their leaking skylight,  as well as any other steps required to mitigate future leaks. This may involve either repair of existing skylights, or a full skylight replacement depending on the cause of the  leak.

​

Common issues are found which include:-

Skylight and Flashing's being rusted, or the wrong type for the roof pitch.

Condensation v Leaks

Seals worn out

Age of Skylight like crazy cracks in domes, rotten wood or glass becoming cloudy

Organic material build up on roof and flashing's.

Roof deterioration

Metallurgical reaction. (see our blog)

We discuss repair versus replacement considerations with you

​

Have a difficult or recurring skylight problem?

Not all reoccurring skylight leaks are straightforward.

​

If you have an older or unusual skylight, architectural or custom roof glazing, multiple skylights, recurring leaks, deterioration, an obsolete skylight system, or a problem that previous repairs have not resolved, a specialist assessment may be the better place to start.

​

Having worked with and repaired multiple brands and generations of skylights over more than 30 years, Auckland Skylights understands that different skylight systems manage water in different ways.

Our Complex Skylight Problems & Inspections service looks at how the existing watertightness system was designed to work, what may have failed, and whether repair, modification, replacement or redesign is the appropriate solution.
