Watertight Skylights: Skylight Flashing Repair by Bestcare
Skylights bring natural light and ventilation into a building, but their roof penetration creates a complex waterproofing challenge. The flashing system surrounding a skylight must seal the junction between the skylight frame, the roof surface, and the underlying structure across decades of thermal movement, UV exposure, and rain events. When skylight flashing fails, leaks can be persistent and difficult to locate precisely. Bestcare Facilities Management provides specialist skylight flashing repair services in Nairobi, Kiambu, and across Kenya, resolving skylight leaks at their source.
Skylight flashing repair requires understanding the specific flashing system used — whether it is an integrated kit supplied by the skylight manufacturer, a site-fabricated lead flashing, or a self-adhesive system — and carrying out repairs with compatible materials and correct technique. Bestcare’s technicians have experience with all common skylight types and flashing configurations.
Skylight Flashing Issues Bestcare Addresses
Upslope Back Flashing Failure — Water collecting behind the skylight is not being directed away correctly; back flashing is re-sealed or replaced.
Side Step Flashing Separation — Step flashings along the sides of the skylight have lifted; re-fixed and sealed.
Front Apron Flashing Lifting — The downslope apron has separated from the roof surface; re-bonded and sealed.
Kerb Seal Failure — The seal between the flashing and the skylight kerb has deteriorated; re-sealed with compatible UV-stable sealant.
Self-Adhesive Flashing Tape Delamination — Lifted or bubbled tape flashings are removed and replaced with correctly prepared new material.
