We repair all major roof window brands across Ireland and work with different roof types. Our team handles pitched roof windows, flat roof skylights, and custom installations.
Pitched Roof Windows
We repair roof windows on sloped roofs from all leading brands. Velux, Keylite, Fakro, and Roto are the main brands we service daily.
Our repairs cover glazing replacements when glass cracks or breaks. We fix opening mechanisms that stick or won’t close properly. Weather seals often fail over time, and we replace these to stop leaks.
Common pitched roof window problems we fix:
- Broken or misted double glazing
- Faulty handles and hinges
- Worn weather seals
- Frame rot or damage
- Remote control issues
Centre pivot windows are the most common type we repair. Top hung windows need different parts, which we stock for quick repairs.
We work on roof windows in tiles, slates, and metal roofing. Each roof type needs specific flashing and sealing methods.
Flat Roof Skylights
Flat roof skylights face different challenges than pitched roof windows. Water pools on flat roofs, making proper sealing vital.
We repair fixed skylights that don’t open and opening skylights with electric or manual controls. Dome skylights made from polycarbonate or acrylic are common on flat roofs.
Flat roof skylight repairs include:
- Cracked domes or glazing
- Failed waterproofing seals
- Electric motor replacements
- Condensation problems
- Structural frame repairs
Flat roof skylights often leak around the edges where they meet the roof membrane. We use specialist sealants and flashings designed for flat roofs.
Many flat roof skylights have electric opening systems. We repair motors, sensors, and rain detection systems that close windows automatically.
Customised Roof Window Solutions
Some properties have unusual roof windows or custom-built skylights. We create repair solutions for windows that standard parts don’t fit.
Bespoke roof windows in older buildings often need custom glazing units. We measure and order glass cut to exact sizes for these unique installations.
Conservation areas and listed buildings have special requirements. We use traditional materials and methods where planning permission requires it.
Large commercial skylights need specialist repair techniques. We work on warehouse roof lights, atrium glazing, and industrial skylights across Ireland.
When standard replacement parts aren’t available, we source alternatives or have components manufactured. This approach saves money compared to full window replacement.
We also upgrade older roof windows with modern glazing while keeping original frames. This improves energy efficiency without changing the window’s appearance.
Additional Roofing Services Offered by Rooftech
We provide complete roofing solutions beyond window repairs, including full roof replacements, guttering systems, and ongoing maintenance programmes. Our skilled team handles everything from small repairs to major upgrades using quality materials and proven techniques.
Roof Replacement and Upgrades
We replace old, damaged roofs with modern materials that last longer and perform better. Our team works with slate, tile, metal, and flat roofing systems.
Complete roof replacement involves removing your existing roof down to the decking. We then install new underlayment, flashing, and your chosen roofing material. This gives you a fresh start with a 20-30 year warranty.
Partial replacements work well when only sections of your roof need attention. We match existing materials where possible or recommend upgrades that blend with your home’s style.
Our upgrade services include:
- Adding insulation beneath new roofing
- Installing modern ventilation systems
- Upgrading to energy-efficient materials
- Strengthening roof structure where needed
We handle all planning permissions and building regulations. Our quotes include materials, labour, and cleanup. Most residential projects take 3-7 days depending on size and weather.
Guttering Installation and Repairs
We install and repair all types of guttering systems to protect your property from water damage. Proper guttering directs rainwater away from your foundation and walls.
New installations start with measuring your roofline and calculating water flow requirements. We recommend gutter sizes based on your roof area and local rainfall patterns.
Materials we work with:
- uPVC guttering (most popular, low maintenance)
- Cast iron (traditional, long-lasting)
- Aluminium (lightweight, rust-resistant)
- Copper (premium option, develops natural patina)
Common repairs we handle include replacing damaged sections, fixing loose brackets, and clearing blockages. We also repair leaking joints and adjust gutter slopes for proper drainage.
Our guttering service includes downpipes, leaf guards, and gutter cleaning. We check that water flows correctly and doesn’t pool near your foundation.
Regular Roof Maintenance Programmes
We offer scheduled maintenance to catch problems early and extend your roof’s lifespan. Regular inspections cost less than emergency roof repairs.
Annual inspections check for loose tiles, damaged flashing, and blocked gutters. We photograph any issues and provide written reports with recommended actions.
Seasonal maintenance includes:
- Spring: Check for winter storm damage
- Summer: Clear gutters and trim overhanging branches
- Autumn: Remove leaves and debris
- Winter: Monitor for ice damage and snow loads
Preventive repairs handle small problems before they become expensive. We replace individual tiles, seal minor leaks, and tighten loose fittings during routine visits.
Our maintenance contracts include priority emergency callouts. We keep records of all work completed and track your roof’s condition over time. Most customers save money compared to paying for individual callouts.
