How we approach skylight repairs & leak fixes in Largs
We handle skylight repairs & leak fixes across Ayrshire, including Largs. In short: leak tracing, resealing, actuator repairs and glass replacement. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Many Scottish homes have dormers and attic rooms where an extra roof window adds light without a full dormer. Skylight repairs & leak fixes suit leaks, condensation, misted units and failed actuators.
From Largs to Dunoon, Greenock and Gourock, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.

- Actuator, motor and control repairs
- Condensation diagnosis
- Resealing and re-flashing
- Glass unit replacement

Things we check at survey
- Repairs are charged — the free survey applies to new installations

Planning, building control and Largs
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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Do you repair roof windows too?
Yes — flashings, seals, hinges and glass on pitched roof windows.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Largs?
