How we approach skylight repairs & leak fixes in Wokingham
Our skylight repairs & leak fixes service in Wokingham 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.
Many South East homes have been extended more than once, and an old dome over an earlier extension is often due for replacement. Skylight repairs & leak fixes suit leaks, condensation, misted units and failed actuators.
Wokingham sits about 5 km from Crowthorne and 6 km from Bracknell, and we cover the whole RG40 postcode district and the roads in between.

Planning and building rules for Wokingham
English householder permitted development (Class C) normally covers rooflights that stand no more than 0.15 m proud of the roof plane and stay below the highest part of the roof. 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. Replacing a rooflight or roof window can be self-certified by an installer registered with an authorised competent person scheme; otherwise building control approval is needed.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Common questions
Do you repair roof windows too?
Yes — flashings, seals, hinges and glass on pitched roof windows.
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 Wokingham?
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 Wokingham?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
