Roof Ventilation & Skylights
Improve airflow, natural light and comfort in your home with professionally installed roof ventilation and skylight solutions.
At Fletcher Metal Roofing, we supply and install roof ventilation and skylight solutions for homes across the Central Coast and surrounding areas.
Whether you're looking to improve airflow through your roof cavity, reduce trapped heat and moisture, or introduce more natural light into your home, our team can recommend a solution suited to your property and roofing system.
Our ventilation and skylight services can be completed as standalone upgrades or incorporated into a new roof or re-roofing project.
Improve Airflow Through Your Roof Space
Roof cavities can become extremely hot and poorly ventilated, particularly during the warmer months. Moisture can also accumulate within the roof space from everyday household activities such as showering, cooking and general humidity.
Installing appropriate roof ventilation can assist with the movement of hot and moisture-laden air out of the roof cavity while encouraging improved airflow.
Fletcher Metal Roofing can assess your existing roof and recommend suitable ventilation locations and quantities based on the size, layout and condition of the property.
Our Roof Ventilation Services Include:
- Supply and installation of roof ventilators / whirlybirds
- Replacement of old, damaged or non-functioning whirlybirds
- Ventilation upgrades during re-roofing projects
- Assessment of existing roof cavity ventilation
- Recommendations on suitable ventilator quantity and positioning
- Installation to metal roofing
- Weatherproof flashing and sealing around penetrations
- Colour-matched options available to complement COLORBOND® roofing where applicable
Why Consider Roof Ventilation?
Correct roof ventilation may assist with:
- Removing trapped hot air from the roof cavity
- Improving airflow within the ceiling and roof space
- Managing moisture and condensation within the roof cavity
- Reducing conditions that can contribute to mould and moisture-related deterioration
- Improving overall roof cavity conditions
- Supporting other roof upgrades such as insulation and condensation blankets
Bring More Natural Light Into Your Home
A professionally installed skylight can transform dark areas of a home by introducing natural daylight through the roof.
Fletcher Metal Roofing can install skylights as part of a new roof, re-roof or roof upgrade, with particular attention given to the roofing and flashing surrounding the skylight.
Correct installation and waterproofing are extremely important with any roof penetration. Our team ensures the surrounding roofing, flashings and drainage are installed correctly to help prevent future water ingress.
Skylight Services Include:
- New skylight installations
- Skylight installation during re-roofing
- Replacement of existing skylights
- Replacement or repair of deteriorated skylight flashings
- Installation of appropriate back trays and flashings
- Assessment of leaking skylights and surrounding roofing
- Integration of skylights into metal roofing systems
- Removal of redundant skylights where required
- Roofing modifications required for skylight installations
Having Problems With an Existing Skylight?
A leak around a skylight does not always mean the skylight itself has failed.
Water ingress can occur due to issues with the surrounding roof installation, including deteriorated flashings, inadequate back trays, failed sealants, incorrect installation or water being unable to drain correctly around the penetration.
Our team can inspect the skylight and surrounding roofing to identify visible roofing defects and recommend the appropriate roofing repairs or replacement works.
Looking to Improve Your Roof's Ventilation or Natural Light?
Whether you need a new whirlybird, want to replace an existing skylight or are considering ventilation and skylights as part of a larger roof upgrade, Fletcher Metal Roofing can assess your roof and recommend an appropriate solution.
