Skylight repairs & leak fixes for March: the essentials
Thinking about skylight repairs & leak fixes in March? The short answer: leak tracing, resealing, actuator repairs and glass replacement. The longer answer depends on your roof, which is why we survey before we price.
Barn conversions and timber-framed homes across the East often call for conservation rooflights or bespoke glass. Typical uses for skylight repairs & leak fixes include rooflights that have stopped opening or started dripping.
March is around 23 km from Peterborough, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Cambridgeshire, including the PE15 district.

Planning, building control and March
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. In an extension, glazing including rooflights is normally limited to 25% of the new floor area plus any windows or doors the extension covers, unless a whole-house calculation shows otherwise.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.
