You can feel wind and some water through the Skylights
Hi Everyone,
We have had our roof reshingled about two or three months ago. Now we are finding that the room is very cold and you can feel the wind if its strong. Also, you can feel some must of water if you stand under the two skylights. What would have the people done incorrectly on the roof for this to happen.
Thanks
Adam

not flashing properly around the skylights could account for the water...

was the prior roof entirely removed or another layer added?

The skylights probably are vented, which might account for the wind, but you shouldn't be getting water.
FWIW the only time my skylights leak is during a real blizzard, with high wind and heavy snow, when snow blows through the vents and melts on the stained glass. That's only happened three or four times since I bought my house in 1974. Any leakage beyond that should be unacceptable

If you have a true leak, just call the roofer and have them come and fix it. Your new roof is under warranty for this.
