Signs You Need Skylight Repairs
Water Stains or Active Dripping
If water marks appear on your ceiling or drips form during rain, your skylight frame repair is overdue. Left unchecked, a small leak spreads through the roof deck and ruins nearby plaster.
Cracked or Broken Glass
A cracked skylight lets in water, dust, and cold air, even when the crack looks tiny. Ignoring a broken skylight risks sudden glass failure, so book skylight glass replacement before damage worsens.
Fogging Between the Glass Panes
Foggy or misty glass between the panes means the seal has failed and moisture is trapped inside. This calls for skylight glass replacement, since cleaning alone won't restore a broken seal.
Our Completed Projects
What Skylight Problems Can We Repair?
Skylight Leak Repair
Water entering around the frame means failed flashing or perished seals. We trace the source and carry out lasting skylight leak repair, stopping rain before it reaches your ceiling.
Skylight Glass Replacement
A cracked or broken skylight is a safety risk and a way in for water. We remove damaged glass and complete a skylight glass replacement matched to your frame.
Skylight Frame Repair
Timber frames rot slowly and metal frames rust, letting water into the roof cavity. Our skylight frame repair replaces weakened sections and reseals joints so the unit stays watertight.
Skylight Replacement
An old or outdated skylight loses heat, fogs easily, and often costs more to patch than replace. Full skylight replacement gives clearer glass, better insulation, and fewer callouts later.
Emergency Leak Repairs
Storms and heavy rain expose weak seals fast, and a small drip can flood a room within hours. Our team responds quickly across Adelaide with emergency skylight leak repair, sealing the source, protecting your ceiling, and stopping water damage before it spreads any further.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are straightforward answers about skylight repairs, replacement, and maintenance in Adelaide, covering cost, timing, and what to expect from our team.
How much does skylight repair cost in Adelaide?
Most skylight repairs in Adelaide range from $200 to $600, depending on whether you need a seal, flashing repair, or minor framework. Full skylight replacement typically costs between $800 and $3,000 or more. We provide a free, itemised quote before starting any work.
How do I know if my skylight is leaking or just has condensation?
Condensation forms evenly across the inside of the glass and often appears in bathrooms or kitchens with high humidity, while a genuine leak shows up as a stain or drip during or after rain. Improving ventilation clears condensation; a real leak needs professional inspection.
What causes a skylight to leak?
Leaks usually trace back to failed flashing, perished rubber seals, or clogged weep holes that block proper drainage. Cracked glass, rusted metal frames, and rotted timber curbs also let water through. Our team inspects each layer to find the source before repairing your skylight.
Can a cracked skylight be repaired, or does it need full replacement?
A small hairline crack can sometimes be sealed, but larger cracks or damage between glass panes call for skylight glass replacement. Continuing to use a cracked skylight risks sudden breakage, so we recommend an inspection before deciding on repair versus replacement.
How long does a skylight repair take?
Most repairs, such as resealing or flashing work, take a few hours and finish the same day. Full skylight replacement can take half a day depending on roof access and size. We prioritise emergency leaks and aim to attend urgent jobs quickly.
Do you repair skylights on both tiled and metal roofs?
Yes, we repair skylights on tiled, Colorbond, and metal roofs across Adelaide. Tiled roofs need careful reseating around the skylight frame, while metal roofs require rust treatment and resealing of surrounding sheets. Our specialists match the repair method to your specific roof type.
Should I repair or replace an old skylight?
If your skylight is over 20 years old, has cracked glass, or shows fog between the panes, replacement saves money compared to repeated repairs. Newer skylights offer better insulation and clearer glass. We assess your unit and recommend the option that suits your budget.
