SKYLIGHT CLEANING CANBERRA

A skylight is there to let light in, and a dirty one lets in far less. Urban Gutters’ crew clean skylights professionally across Canberra and the ACT, safely and thoroughly, with before-and-after photos sent to your phone.

THE PROBLEM

Why Canberra skylights get dirty

Skylights sit on the roof, out of sight and out of reach, so they are one of the most neglected parts of a house. Dirt settles on the surface and stays there, and every shower of rain dries into another layer of hard-water marks.

Canberra adds its own layers: dust through the dry months, pollen in spring, leaf staining in autumn, and ash and smoke haze in a bad bushfire season. Frost and morning condensation keep the edges damp, which is where lichen and mould take hold.

None of this washes off in the rain. It needs to be removed by hand.

SIGNS YOU NEED IT

How to tell a skylight needs cleaning

Spots and water marks

Cloudy spots and tide marks across the surface are hard-water marks left by rain.

Green or dark edges

Green, grey or black growth around the frame is lichen or mould, usually from settled condensation.

The room is darker

If the room under the skylight is noticeably darker than it used to be, the surface is the reason.

Stained or perished seals

Mould on the rubber seals shortens their life and can eventually let water in.

THE PAYOFF

What a clean skylight gives you

More natural light

A clean surface lets the most light through, which is what the skylight is there for.

Less moss and lichen

Removing it regularly stops it spreading across the surface and the frame.

Longer-lasting seals

Keeping mould off the rubber seals extends the working life of the skylight

Problems caught early

We flag cracked domes, lifted flashing and perished seals before they leak.

TIMING

How often should Canberra skylights be cleaned?

Once or twice a year suits most Canberra homes. Late spring, after the pollen, and late autumn, after the leaves, are the two that make the most difference.

The simplest way is to have them done with each gutter clean, since the crew is already on the roof.

Pro tip: Pair the skylights with a gutter clean, and ask us to check for cracked tiles around the frame while we are there.

WHILE WE'RE UP THERE

Solar panels on the same roof?

The dirt on your skylights is on your panels too, and it costs you generation. We clean both in the same visit.
