Re-fitting skylight advice please
Posted: 19 Jul 2014, 19:22
Hi.
I have a leaky roof that the previous owner had attempted to seal with layer upon layer of sealant. I have taken the skylight off and have cleaned and sanded down all of that messy sealant.
I noticed some of the x20 screws (silver self tappers) that hold the skylight to the roof have outstayed their welcome and are not actually binding. This leads me to believe that maybe some water is actually coming in here too.
Is it correct that these are self tappers and just screw in to the outer fiberglass?
My route is to clean both the skylight and roof of sealant and re-apply with caravan mastic and slightly larger screws.
I'm I doing this right?
Thanks,
Andy
