Professional Skylight Repair

Leaks in the skylight are common, and your skylight usually leaks because it has rust near the flashing, a few faulty seals or some shoddy workmanship. To fix a skylight leak, your roof plumber will typically put in new metal flashing to apply a water membrane for the flashing that is already in place.

If you see a lot of condensation on your skylight, then that could indicate a problem as well. This happens when air in the room with the skylight meets the skylight’s surface when it is cold outside. This happens most commonly in kitchens and bathrooms.

To solve this problem, you can have a roof ventilator installed on the roof close to the skylight. This helps to balance out the temperature of the ceiling.

The three major types of skylight designs are Fixed, Ventilated and Tubular. Fixed skylights rest on your roof and provide no opening and closing option or ventilation. A ventilated skylight will open and close, which is ideal for bathrooms to fight against mould growth. Tubular skylights use a reflective duct pipe to bring light into the house, and this skylight is remarkable for its dome shape.

At Fix a Roof, we provide our customers with the very best in customer service for skylight and roofing repairs and installation. We have built up a reputation in the community and in the industry for excellence and professionalism in service.

Asbestos Roof Removal

Only professionals with a licence can remove asbestos from a home or business. At Fix a Roof we work in a highly regulated industry where asbestos removal and disposal is considered a dangerous but important job. Asbestos is connected to lung cancer, lung disease, mesothelioma and other health problem following the inhalation of asbestos fibres. This is a toxic substance that needs to be handled with care.

Any asbestos roofs in Victoria cannot be repaired due to new legislation. If any homeowner or roofing professionals attempts to work on an asbestos roof, there could be severe penalties. The best way to deal with this problem, when an asbestos roof needs repairs, is to call a professional to remove and get rid of the asbestos before any work can be done on the roof itself.

Asbestos removal and disposal requires following strict rules. These include the following:

• Any asbestos remover must have a valid licence.
• Each project that involves asbestos removal or disposal requires a permit.
• Those living around you must be informed of the asbestos removal project.
• All asbestos that is removed must be placed into a landfill designed to receive asbestos.
• Once the project is completed, a clearance certificate will need to be issued.

These rules must all be followed if a homeowner wants a specialist to remove asbestos for them in their home. The homeowner is considered to be the principle contractor on these kinds of projects, and that means that they would have to bear the brunt of the fees and penalties if the rules are not followed. It is never worth it to risk trying to remove asbestos another way or circumvent the rules regarding this toxic substance.

What to Do When You Have a Roof Made Out of Asbestos

The first step is to have a professional assess your roof. For instances where the roof is old or damaged, there is already some risk of asbestos inhalation. After the danger has been assessed, a plan can be made to have the roof replaced.

All of our services are performed by licensed and qualified tradesmen who are fully insured and who always stick to the highest standards of quality.

Here are a few instances where re-roofing would be necessary:

• Rusted roofing sheets
• Very old roof tiles
• Trusses that are sagging
• Very old roofing iron
• Severe damage where replacement is the most practical choice
