Expert Skylight Repairs in Offaly
Velux Leak & Flashing Fixes
A skylight or Velux roof window is a fantastic way to flood your home with natural sunlight, but when seals fail or flashings loosen, it quickly becomes a prime entry point for rainwater. Skylight leaks are notoriously tricky because water often travels down roof rafters before dripping onto your ceiling, making the true source hard to pinpoint.
At Roof Craft, we provide specialized skylight and Velux window repairs across County Offaly, fixing active leaks, damaged seals, and faulty flashing kits to keep your roof light completely watertight.
Backed by over 15 years of local roofing experience, our team understands the precise technical requirements of roof window installations. We don't rely on messy temporary sealants that crack in winter—we install engineered manufacturer flashing kits and durable weather seals designed for lasting protection against heavy Irish weather.
Complete Skylight Services in County Offaly
Whether you have a leaking Velux window in a converted attic, a flat roof light on a kitchen extension, or a cracked pane from storm debris, we deliver long-lasting repairs tailored to your roof type.
Velux Flashing Kit Repair & Replacement
The flashing kit surrounding your skylight channels rainwater safely away from the window frame and down your roof slates or tiles. When flashing kits are improperly fitted, corroded, or clogged with moss, water backs up directly behind the window frame. We supply and fit custom replacement flashing kits matched precisely to your roof pitch and covering material.
Glass Replacement & Condensation Seal Repairs
If you notice fogging, misting, or water droplets trapped between double-glazed panes, the thermal vacuum seal has failed. We replace blown or cracked glass units with high-performance, toughened safety glass, restoring thermal insulation and crystal-clear clarity without needing to dismantle your interior window surround.
Frame Seal & Rubber Gasket Restoration
Constant UV exposure and temperature changes degrade the outer rubber weather seals on roof windows over time. When gaskets harden or shrink, wind-driven rain penetrates into your living space. We replace worn perimeter seals and re-bed frame joints with flexible, weather-proof compounds.
Skylight Timber Frame & Insulation Care
Internal leaks can rot the structural timber casing surrounding your skylight and soak the nearby ceiling insulation. We inspect the underlying roof timber during repairs, treating minor wood decay and replacing damaged insulation to prevent cold spots and internal mold growth.
Roof Window Upgrades & Full Replacements
If an older skylight is damaged beyond repair or has reached the end of its functional life, we offer seamless replacements. We swap out aging, drafty roof windows for modern, energy-efficient Velux models with integrated ventilation channels, upgrading your room's insulation in the process.

Frequently Asked Questions About Skylight Repairs
Why is my skylight leaking during heavy rain?
Skylight leaks are usually caused by a compromised flashing kit, blocked drainage channels around the frame, or degraded rubber seals. When moss or leaves block the top flashing apron, water cannot flow past the window and backs up under your slates or tiles into the room below.
Can you repair a leaking Velux window without replacing the entire unit?
Yes, absolutely. In most cases, replacing the outer flashing kit, clearing debris, and fitting fresh weather seals will completely resolve the leak at a fraction of the cost of a brand-new window replacement. We only recommend a full replacement if the window frame is structurally rotted.
How do I know if my skylight glass seal has blown?
If you see condensation, moisture droplets, or a foggy film between the two sheets of glass that you cannot wipe away from either side, the double-glazing seal has blown. We can replace just the glass unit itself while keeping your existing frame intact.
How much does a skylight repair cost in County Offaly?
Repair costs depend on the window size, height off the ground, accessibility, and whether parts like a new flashing kit or glass unit are required. We offer 100% free call-outs and detailed quotes so you know the exact cost before deciding to proceed.

Warning Signs Your Skylight Needs Immediate Repair
Catching roof window leaks early prevents severe internal plaster damage and ceiling timber decay:
Water Staining on Plasterboard: Brown water rings, damp patches, or peeling paint on the interior walls around your skylight frame.
Misted or Fogged Glass: Persistent condensation trapped between the double-glazed panes indicating a blown unit seal.
Draughts & Cold Air Drops: Noticeable cold air leaking in around the window edges when closed, pointing to failed perimeter gaskets.
Visible Flashing Moss Build-Up: Heavy moss or debris piling up in the top channel of the window, blocking rainwater runoff.
Dripping During Driven Rain: Active water ingress happening specifically when wind pushes heavy rain against the glass.
