Skylight Waterproofing in Dubai for Leak-Free Daylight
Skylight waterproofing in Dubai is needed on almost every older warehouse roof. Translucent sheets expand at a different rate from the metal sheets around them, so the laps between the two materials work loose. Fixings crack the sheet, old sealant dries out, and rainwater runs in along the edges of each skylight.
Leak Lock Insulation Contracting seals skylights on metal and sandwich panel roofs so that they stay watertight while still letting in daylight. We work for warehouse owners, factory managers and facility teams who are seeing drips beneath skylight lines, and we tell you honestly when a sheet is too brittle to seal and should be replaced instead.
Signs Your Skylights Are Leaking
For example, clients contact us for one or more of the following reasons.
- Drips below skylight lines: leaks follow the rows of translucent sheets.
- Cracks around fixings: star cracks spreading from the screws.
- Gaps at the laps: the skylight no longer sits tight on the metal sheet.
- Dried or missing sealant: old mastic has shrunk away from the joint.
- Water stains on stock: damage directly beneath roof lights.
- Yellow, brittle sheets: UV damage that makes the sheet fragile.

Our Skylight Waterproofing Process
Because every site is different, we adapt these steps to your skylight waterproofing project.
- InspectionBefore anything else, each skylight is checked for cracks, loose laps and failed fixings.
- Cleaning & PreparationThen, dust and old sealant are removed from the joints.
- Sealing Joints & ScrewsAfter that, laps, edges and fixings are sealed with membrane and sealant.
- Water Test & HandoverFinally, treated skylights are water tested where possible and handed over.
Materials & Methods
Skylight edges are sealed with EPDM membrane and compatible sealant, chosen because the joint between translucent and metal sheets moves constantly. Work around skylights is done from secured positions, since aged skylight sheets cannot be trusted to carry weight.
In short, the work includes the following.
- EPDM membrane strips over skylight laps
- Sealant compatible with polycarbonate and GRP sheets
- New fixings with sealing washers
- Crawl boards and fall protection around fragile sheets

Skylight Waterproofing FAQs
Questions about skylight leak repair and skylight sealing. Also, you can call us with any other question.
Translucent sheets and metal sheets expand at different rates, so the joint between them is always moving. That movement breaks rigid sealants and loosens fixings, letting water in at the laps.
Small cracks in an otherwise sound sheet can be sealed. If the sheet is brittle, discoloured or cracked in several places, replacement is the safer choice.
No. The membrane is applied at the edges and laps of the skylight, not across the sheet.
No. Skylight sheets should never be stepped on. We also install safety grills beneath skylights to protect people working on the roof.
It depends on the number of skylights and their condition. After the inspection you receive a programme with the quotation.
