Q: How do I know if my sun tunnel in Chatham needs repair?

Signs include leaks, damp patches, internal condensation, reduced brightness, cracked domes or damaged flashing. A professional inspection will confirm the issue.

Q: Can I repair my sun tunnel myself?

Basic cleaning may be possible, but most repairs require professionals because sealing, flashing and roof access must meet UK safety and building standards.

Our sun tunnel dome had cracked and gone very cloudy. They replaced it with a new glass dome and also resealed the flashing. The result is much brighter and cleaner-looking. The engineer was professional and the pricing was transparent.

Claire Morrison

We had a sun tunnel installed in our dark landing and the difference is unbelievable. The whole space feels brighter and much more welcoming. The installers were punctual, polite and left no mess at all. Really impressed with the quality of the work.

Sarah Jenkins

Norwich

Very happy with our new sun tunnel above the loft stairs. It’s made the whole area safer and much easier to use. The job took slightly longer because of access, but the engineers kept us updated throughout and the finish looks excellent.

Emma Richardson

Leeds

Our old sun tunnel had started leaking during heavy rain, so we arranged a replacement. The team quickly diagnosed the issue, fitted a new flashing kit and upgraded the tube. The light output is far better now and the leak has completely stopped.

Mark Davies

Cardiff

We had a leaking sun tunnel fitted years ago by another company. These guys inspected it, found the flashing issue and fixed it properly. Price was fair and the work was done in one visit. Nice to finally have a dry ceiling again.

Louise Carter

Bristol

The team installed a sun tunnel in our kitchen and the improvement is amazing. It looks natural, blends perfectly into the ceiling and brightens the whole room. The fitters were friendly, respectful and cleaned up thoroughly afterwards.

Daniel Thompson

Manchester

We had damp patches forming around our old sun tunnel. The installer identified insulation issues, added proper sealing and replaced the diffuser. No more condensation at all. The room feels warmer and brighter already.

Rebecca Wilson

Nottingham

Our internal bathroom always felt dark, but the sun tunnel has completely transformed it. There’s so much natural light now, even on cloudy days. The installers worked neatly and explained everything clearly. A brilliant upgrade.

James Patel

Milton Keynes

Our bungalow hallway was always gloomy, so we installed two sun tunnels. The whole area feels completely different now - bright, airy and much more inviting. The team were tidy, efficient and completed everything within the day.

Peter Collins

Sheffield

We added a sun tunnel to the upstairs landing to help with lighting during the day. It’s made a massive difference and we hardly ever switch the lights on now. Work took a little longer due to roof complexity, but the end result is worth it.
