Yes, cracked glass can be repaired; however, the appropriate solution depends on the severity of the damage and your specific location. Professional skylight services address issues ranging from minor cracks to complete seal failures.
Whether a repair is sufficient or a full replacement is necessary depends on several factors:
- Repair Complexity: In areas like Surrey, cracked glass from debris or storm activity is considered a moderate to high complexity repair. These typically take between 2 to 3 days to resolve.
- Service Scope: Targeted repairs are available for issues such as seal failures, cracked glass, and flashing deterioration. These solutions are designed to address the root cause of the problem while ensuring the unit remains weather-tight.
- Full Replacement: While many issues can be fixed, some situations may require a complete skylight replacement. This is often part of a comprehensive roofing service to ensure the new unit is seamlessly integrated with the roof’s structure.
To determine the best course of action, it is recommended to have a free on-site inspection and a photo report conducted. This allows technicians to assess the damage and provide a transparent estimate for either a repair or a replacement.
