Protect your South West home from the elements
Stop leaks with professional maintenance from Australia’s only fully compliant installers. We provide a service unmatched by industry.
Keeping your natural light source in peak condition
A well-maintained skylight can last for decades, but the harsh coastal environment of the South West can take its toll over time. Salt air, heavy winter storms and intense UV rays can degrade seals and flashings. If you notice water stains around your ceiling or a drop in thermal performance, it is likely time to look into skylight repair.
Ignoring a minor issue now can lead to expensive structural damage to your roof and ceiling later. At Clearview Skylights, we believe in perfecting spaces by ensuring they remain safe and water-tight. We use our building and carpentry expertise to identify the root cause of the issue and provide a professional solution.
Identifying and fixing common skylight issues
Our South West skylight repair services cover every aspect of your system’s health. We have seen a wide variety of issues, from cracked acrylic domes on older units to failed motors on modern electronic systems. Because we do it all, we can handle mechanical, structural and plumbing repairs in a single professional visit.
Common issues we resolve include:
- Failed seals: These can cause fogging between glass panes or slow leaks during heavy rain.
- Damaged flashings: This is the most frequent cause of a leaking skylight repair and requires expert trade knowledge to fix properly.
- Mechanical failure: We can repair or replace the opening mechanisms and sensors on high-end units.
- Cracked glazing: Whether it is due to a fallen branch or age, we can replace the glass to restore your clear view.
Supporting your home with professional qualifications
When you hire us for a repair, you are getting the same level of professionalism as a new installation. We are Australia’s only fully compliant installers. This means your repair is supervised by a qualified builder who understands the structural implications of the work. Every detail is given careful attention for an aesthetically pleasing, functional result.
All work is supervised by a qualified builder and carpenter. This is particularly important for older homes where the original installation might not have been compliant. We often find that a leak is caused by poor original framing. We take the time to fix these underlying issues, providing you with a result that is beautifully finished and durable.
Prompt action for a leaking skylight repair
A leaking skylight should always be handled with urgency. Water ingress can quickly lead to mould growth in your ceiling cavity and damage to your internal plasterboard. We provide prompt and professional service across the region, from Mandurah to Augusta and beyond.
You can rely on our staff to help you find the right solution. Sometimes, a repair is not the most cost-effective option if the unit is extremely old. In these cases, we provide personalised recommendations on whether a full replacement with a modern, energy-efficient unit would be a better long-term investment for your home.
Common questions about skylight repairs
My skylight is fogging up between the glass panes. Can this be fixed?
Fogging usually indicates that the seal of the double-glazed unit has failed. In most cases, the glass panel itself will need to be replaced to restore clarity and energy efficiency.
Can you repair brands other than VELUX®?
Yes. We have experience repairing a wide range of brands and styles, including older acrylic dome skylights and various solar-powered systems.
What is the cost of a typical repair?
The cost depends on the extent of the damage and the parts required. We offer a fixed-price inspection service where we identify the issue and provide a detailed quote for the necessary work.
