Skylight repairs & leak fixes in Crewe means leak tracing, resealing, actuator repairs and glass replacement. We cover the CW1 district and the rest of Cheshire, with a survey before any price is fixed.
The North West gets more rain than most of England, so upstand height, membrane detailing and rain sensors on opening units are not optional extras. Typical uses for skylight repairs & leak fixes include leaks, condensation, misted units and failed actuators.
Crewe is around 34 km from Warrington, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Cheshire, including the CW1 district.

Planning, building control and Crewe
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. 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.
Building Regulations Approved Document L sets a limiting U-value of 2.2 W/m²K for new or replacement rooflights in existing homes, measured in the horizontal plane; roof windows need 1.4 W/m²K or a Band B energy rating. 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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.
