A leaking skylight is rarely the skylight. It's the flashing and seals around it. We find the real cause and fix it so it stays fixed.
Skylight leaks in Brisbane usually trace to one of three causes: perished perimeter seals, corroded or badly lapped flashings, or condensation dripping down the shaft and being mistaken for a leak. A tube of silicone on top fixes none of them. That's why the same skylights get "repaired" every wet season.
We strip the flashing back and do it properly: a new flashing kit lapped correctly into the surrounding roof, modern UV-rated sealants, and where the unit itself is cracked or fogged, a straight swap for a new one sized to the opening.
Under 15 years old with a sound frame? Resealing usually makes sense. Brittle old acrylic domes, or units fogging between panes, are cheaper to replace than to keep patching. We'll price both, they're often closer than people expect.

Resealing and reflashing typically runs $400 to $900 per skylight depending on roof type and access. Replacement units installed usually range $900 to $2,500 depending on size and glazing.
Yes. We work with Velux and all major Australian-supplied brands, and can source most sizes and glazing options.
Not always. Water travels along battens and can show up metres from the entry point. We inspect the surrounding roof, not the skylight alone.
Yes. New installs include cutting the opening, flashing, shaft, and coordination with a plasterer for the interior. Tile and metal roofs both suit skylights with the right flashing kit.
We get on the roof, photograph what we find, and give you a fixed price in writing. If nothing needs doing, we say so.
