Skylight and Smoke Hatch Repair for Light-Industrial Buildings
East Granby commercial roof repair for skylights and smoke hatches, where curbs, cracked lenses, and dried gaskets let water into shops and light-industrial buildings.
East Granby Commercial Roof Repair Around Skylights
Plenty of East Granby commercial roof repair calls trace back to skylights and smoke hatches. They let light into shops and work bays, but each one is a hole in the roof with a curb, a lens, and a gasket that age at different rates.
We check the curb flashing first, then the lens and its frame, then the gasket or seal. Cracked plastic lenses get replaced, curbs get new flashing tied into the membrane or panels, and smoke hatches are checked so they still open as designed after the repair.
- Curb flashing rebuilt at each unit
- Lenses checked for cracks and crazing
- Smoke hatches tested to open
- Fall protection kept around openings
Skylight Leaks Behind East Granby Commercial Roof Repair Calls
Skylight leaks look a lot like roof leaks. These signs point to the unit rather than the field of the roof.
Inside The Building
Drips Down The Light Well
Water running down the inside of a skylight shaft points to the curb flashing or the frame seal above.
Stains Around The Opening
A ring of staining around a skylight opening shows water entering at the curb and spreading under the membrane.
Frost Inside The Lens
Frost or water inside a double-wall lens on cold mornings means a failed seal or condensation in the unit.
On The Roof
Cracked Or Crazed Lenses
Plastic lenses yellow, craze, and crack with sun and age, and small cracks leak in hard rain.
Short Or Split Curb Flashing
Curb flashing that is too short or has split at the corners lets water over the top of the curb.
Hatch Gaskets Dried Out
Smoke hatch and access hatch gaskets harden and shrink, leaving a gap at the lid.
Commercial Roof Repair Gains Around East Granby Skylights
Repairing each unit properly keeps light coming in and water out. These are the gains.
Clear, Tight Lenses
Cracked lenses leak and let less light into the work area.
Replacement lenses fit the existing frame and seal the opening.
Curbs That Stay Sealed
Split corner flashing at curbs is the most common skylight leak.
New curb flashing ties into the roof and wraps each corner.
Hatches That Work
Smoke hatches with seized or damaged parts are a safety concern.
Hatches are checked after repair so they still open as designed.
Safer Openings
Skylights are a fall hazard for anyone working on the roof.
Openings are guarded during work, and screens or guards can be added.

East Granby Commercial Roof Repair Questions
Answers about skylight and hatch leaks.
Skylights And Hatches
Can a cracked skylight lens be replaced without replacing the curb?
Often, yes. Many plastic lenses can be replaced on the existing frame if the curb and frame are in good condition. We match the size and profile, seal it, and reflash the curb if its flashing has failed too.
Why does our smoke hatch leak?
Dried gaskets, a lid that no longer seats evenly, and split curb flashing are the usual causes. We replace the gasket, adjust the lid, and reflash the curb, then confirm the hatch still opens.
Booking A Repair
Commercial roof repair for East Granby businesses: can work happen during shifts?
Yes. Skylight work happens on the roof, and we guard the openings above work areas. If a lens is removed over an occupied space, we cover the opening and close it before leaving.
Is there East Granby commercial roof repair near me for metal shop roofs?
Yes. We repair metal, single-ply, and built-up roofs in East Granby, including skylight panels in metal roofs. Call with the address and the units that leak.
Commercial roof repair contractor near East Granby: how many skylights per visit?
We inspect every skylight and hatch on the roof during one visit and list each one with photos, so you can repair the worst first and plan the rest.
More Answers
Should skylights have screens or guards?
Plastic skylight lenses are not built to hold a person, so a screen or guard over each one is worth adding where people work on the roof. We can price guards with the repair, and we always guard open skylights while our own work is under way.
Do in-panel skylights on metal roofs leak differently?
Yes. Translucent panels set in a metal roof leak at their laps and fasteners just like metal panels, and they turn brittle with age. We replace brittle panels with the same profile and seal their laps with closures made for that rib shape.
