Skylight repairs & leak fixes for Earley: the essentials
We handle skylight repairs & leak fixes across Berkshire, including Earley. In short: leak tracing, resealing, actuator repairs and glass replacement. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Period cottages and conservation-area streets are common in the South East, so slim conservation rooflights are often the right choice. Skylight repairs & leak fixes suit rooflights that have stopped opening or started dripping.

Consents for skylight repairs & leak fixes in Earley
Most rooflights on English houses do not need planning permission, provided they keep within 150 mm of the roof surface and below the ridge line. Listed buildings need listed building consent, flats have no householder permitted development rights, and an Article 4 direction can remove the rights in some conservation areas.
Under Approved Document L, a rooflight added to an English home must achieve at least 2.2 W/m²K (horizontal plane), and a roof window 1.4 W/m²K or Window Energy Rating Band B. The Future Homes and Buildings Standards, published in March 2026, apply from 24 March 2027 and keep the 2.2 W/m²K limit for rooflights.

Common questions
Do you charge for repair visits?
Yes, repairs are charged. We give the price before the visit.
Can you fix a misted rooflight?
A misted unit means the glass seal has failed. The sealed unit, or the whole rooflight, needs replacing.
Is it condensation or a leak?
Condensation forms on the inside face on cold days and comes back in the same pattern. A leak appears when it rains and often tracks down the reveal.
How do I book a survey in Earley?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
Can you work alongside my builder in Earley?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
