kylight Maintenance – Annual Inspection, Cleaning & Tune-Up Service
Keep Your Skylight Performing Like New
Even high-quality VELUX skylights need periodic maintenance to stay clear, efficient, and leak-free.
Over time, dirt, dust, debris, and weather exposure can affect performance.
Typical signs your skylight needs maintenance:
-
Skylight looks dull or dirty
-
Dust or spider webs inside the shaft
-
Light is noticeably dimmer
-
Small drafts appear in winter
-
Debris buildup around flashing
-
Shade fabric becomes dusty or uneven
-
Condensation forms more often
-
Skylight motor sounds louder than before
Regular maintenance helps avoid future leaks, noisy operation, and expensive repairs.
