Velux Window Repairs Dublin
Velux windows are the gold standard, but even the best engineering eventually bows to the Irish weather. Most issues we see involve degraded seals or faulty hinges that prevent a tight close. Consequently, heat escapes and water finds a way in.
Professional Seal and Flashing Replacement
We focus on the critical junctions where your window meets the roof. Replacing worn-out flashings is the only way to ensure a permanent fix. Therefore, we use genuine Velux parts to guarantee a factory-grade seal.
Precision Handle and Mechanism Repairs
Does your window feel stiff or fail to lock? A jammed handle is often a sign of internal gear wear. We repair these mechanisms quickly to restore your home’s security and ventilation. But most people ignore the real reason water is dripping onto their carpet.
Skylight Leak Repair & Flashing Replacement
Water is patient. It will find the smallest crack in your flashing and exploit it until your drywall rots. Many homeowners try to slap some silicone on the problem. This is a massive mistake because DIY patches trap moisture inside the frame.
Specifically, Dublin’s coastal winds can force rain sideways under loose shingles. You need a repair that stands up to a North Atlantic gale, not just a light drizzle. If you think a bit of sealant is enough, you are ignoring a much bigger risk.
Roof Window Repairs & Maintenance
Older roof windows often have plenty of life left if they are maintained by a pro. You do not always need a full tear-out just because a hinge is squeaking. Regular maintenance can extend the life of your timber or PVC frames by a decade.
Refurbishment Over Replacement
We specialize in bringing tired windows back to life. This includes cleaning out debris-clogged channels and lubricating moving parts. It is the smartest way to save money while keeping your home airtight. However, there is a hard line where maintenance ends and danger begins.
When Is Skylight Replacement Necessary?
Sometimes, a repair is just a bandage on a broken limb. If your frame is physically rotting or the double glazing has “blown” (fogging between the panes), replacement is your best move. Therefore, we provide honest assessments to help you choose between a fix and a fresh start.
Choosing us means you are getting more than just a guy with a ladder; you are getting a precision installation. But why exactly should you trust us with your roof?

FAQs About Skylight Repairs
How much does a typical repair cost?
Costs vary based on the parts needed, but most minor seal repairs are significantly cheaper than a full replacement. We provide a clear breakdown before any work starts.
Should I call a glazier or a roofer?
You need a roof window specialist. Specifically, a roofer understands the tiling, while a glazier knows the glass. We bridge that gap by mastering the entire unit and its integration with your roof.
