Our skylight has been dripping into the attic after heavy rain last month. The frame looks okay from outside, but water's definitely coming in around the edges. It's a standard double-glazed unit, maybe 80×80 cm. We're renting, and our landlord is slow to respond. How much should I expect to pay if we hire someone quickly, and is this our responsibility or his?
Skylight leaks are usually caused by failed seals, flashing corrosion, or condensation buildup — not always visible damage. Repair costs typically range €250–€600 depending on whether the roofer just reseals it (€250–€400) or needs to replace the flashing underneath (€400–€600). If the glazing unit itself is failed, replacement runs €800–€1,500. As a tenant, your landlord must cover structural repairs under Dutch rental law (BW 7:17). Document the leak with photos and notify him in writing with a deadline. If he doesn't act within 2 weeks, you can request a qualified surveyor's report (€150–€250) to force the issue. Don't delay — winter rain makes it worse.
