Replace the skylight as part of the roof opening rather than a glazing-only purchase.
Confirm the replacement specification
Record product code, opening type, roof covering and leak or condensation history. Ask how the new unit, flashing, support, controls and interior shaft meet the retained assembly.
Resolve the cause before closing the work
Condensation alone does not establish roof leakage. Damaged curb or support and an enlarged opening require explicit preparation or design beyond ordinary renewal.
Specify the handover before ordering
Agree the completion checklist before the replacement is ordered: opening preparation documented, agreed roof interfaces reviewed, operation and care information supplied. Identify who supplies the product, removes the old item and restores adjacent finishes. The final invoice should distinguish the replacement from any separately approved correction discovered once the existing component is exposed.
What shapes the scope?
- Unit and opening geometry
- Roof covering and flashing
- Support and moisture condition
- Interior and control reinstatement
What should be checked?
- Opening preparation documented
- Agreed roof interfaces reviewed
- Operation and care information supplied
Questions worth asking
What should be settled before the new item is ordered?
Start with unit and opening geometry and roof covering and flashing. Add dated photographs and describe when the concern occurs. A precise brief helps the provider decide what can be assessed on the first visit and what needs a separate investigation.
What belongs in the completion record?
Keep the exact replacement identity, the agreed checks and any unresolved limitation together. Operation and care information supplied. Use Maintaining for its subsequent care, with the new manual rather than the old product’s assumptions.
Bring the details together.
