Roof leaking around a roof window

Water around a Velux-style roof window can come from the flashing kit, the window seals or condensation. How to tell.

Possible causes

  • Damaged or badly fitted flashing kit
  • Blocked gutter channels above the window
  • Worn window seals
  • Condensation running off the glass (not a roof leak at all)

Warning signs

  • Water on the window lining or reveal
  • Stains below the window after rain
  • Drips only in cold weather — often condensation

Typical solutions

  • Clearing debris from above the window
  • Refitting or renewing the flashing kit
  • Advice on ventilation where condensation is the cause
