Hey all!!

Well I've recently discovered that my skylight is leaking. So, on looking into it, I managed to snap the arm that holds it up (it is the original 30 year old skylight....!). So, I need to find a new one.... does anyone know where I can find a 37 x 37 cm skylight? I can't seem to find one in that size!
Last thing I want to do is have to open the hole up be 3 cm!!

Thanks

I got one from Towsure, Virtually identical to the original one. Wish I'd used Sikaflex sealant but used a mongrel brand which developed a leak. Seems to be cured now that I re-tightened the screws.

Why not give Leisuredrive a bell and ask them? The 40x40 dimensions quoted by manufacturers such as Fiamma might refer to the outer edges of the vent which will be bigger than the actual aperture in the roof itself.

I managed to find one I can fit!
I came across it accidentally whilst at Dubfreeze on Sunday. Now, to fit it........

What size was it out of interest? Mine seems to have been replaced with a wood and perspex window instead of a proper vent, would like to return it to the original size.
