The best practices for skylight repair and replacement to ensure longevity and efficiency include regular inspections, prompt repairs of any leaks or damage, using high-quality materials, proper installation techniques, and ensuring adequate insulation and sealing to prevent energy loss. Regular maintenance and cleaning are also important to keep the skylight in good condition.
To repair and replace a leaky skylight, follow these steps: Inspect the Skylight: Check for cracks, gaps, or sealant issues around the frame. Reapply Sealant: If the sealant is worn or cracked, carefully remove the old one and apply a fresh, waterproof sealant around the skylight edges. Replace Flashing: If the leak is caused by damaged flashing, remove and replace it to ensure a proper seal. Skylight Replacement: For severe damage, you may need to replace the skylight entirely. Measure the skylight dimensions, remove the old unit, and install the new one, ensuring a snug fit and waterproofing. If you're not comfortable handling this yourself, it's best to consult a professional. The Sydney Roof Doctor specializes in skylight repairs and replacements, providing expert service to fix leaks efficiently and prevent future issues.
For a longer lasting repair and totally water proof use outdoor UV rated "helicopter Tape" or as its now known as 'surface guard tape". Make sure you get the UV rated type. I used 3" wide UV rated helicopter tape to repair a severe open crack on a dual dome skylight. The tape kept the water out for almost a year until I finally got around to replacing the dome. If you doubt the strength of this type of tape , the name comes from the fact it is used to protect the leading edge of helicopter blades from nicks and scratches. Now this tape is used on race cars etc.
