Skylight repairs & leak fixes in Fraserburgh: what is involved?
Our skylight repairs & leak fixes service in Fraserburgh covers leak tracing, resealing, actuator repairs and glass replacement. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
Scottish weather is hard on roofs, so we specify rooflights and roof windows with exposure in mind and fit upstands with generous heights. Skylight repairs & leak fixes suit rooflights that have stopped opening or started dripping.
Fraserburgh is around 61 km from Aberdeen, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, including the AB43 district.

What to check first

Consents for skylight repairs & leak fixes in Fraserburgh
Scottish householder permitted development (Class 2B, other external alterations) can cover a rooflight that projects no more than 1 metre from the roof, but the right does not apply in conservation areas. Flats and tenements are outside householder permitted development, so check with the planning authority first.
Scotland's Technical Handbook (section 6) asks for windows, doors and rooflights in an extension to average 1.4–1.6 W/m²K, with no single unit worse than 3.3 W/m²K. Forming a new opening normally involves structural work, so check with the local authority verifier whether a building warrant is needed.

Skylight repairs & leak fixes in Fraserburgh: questions
Why is my skylight leaking?
Common causes are a failed seal, a membrane that has split or lifted at the upstand, a low upstand, blocked drainage or condensation mistaken for a leak.
Can you repair an electric rooflight that will not open?
Often, yes — actuators, controllers and rain sensors can be replaced if parts are available.
Can you fix a misted rooflight?
A misted unit means the glass seal has failed. The sealed unit, or the whole rooflight, needs replacing.
Can you work alongside my builder in Fraserburgh?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
How do I book a survey in Fraserburgh?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
