Skylight repairs & leak fixes for Aylesbury: the essentials
We handle skylight repairs & leak fixes across Buckinghamshire, including Aylesbury. 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 South East homes have been extended more than once, and an old dome over an earlier extension is often due for replacement. Typical uses for skylight repairs & leak fixes include leaks, condensation, misted units and failed actuators.
Jobs in Aylesbury are planned around access: whether the roof can be reached from the garden, whether a hoist or crane is needed, and where we can park. We check this when we measure.

Do you need permission in Aylesbury?
In England a rooflight on a house is usually permitted development under Class C if it projects no more than 150 mm beyond the roof slope and sits no higher than the ridge. A rooflight on a side-facing slope must be obscure-glazed, and fixed shut unless the opening part is more than 1.7 m above the floor.
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.

Questions about skylight repairs & leak fixes in Aylesbury
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.
Do you repair roof windows too?
Yes — flashings, seals, hinges and glass on pitched roof windows.
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 work alongside my builder in Aylesbury?
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 Aylesbury?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
