Skylight repairs & leak fixes in Deeside: what is involved?
Our skylight repairs & leak fixes service in Deeside 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 Welsh homes have older single-storey rear extensions where a glass rooflight brightens a dark kitchen. Typical uses for skylight repairs & leak fixes include leaks, condensation, misted units and failed actuators.
We work across Clwyd, including Deeside, and in neighbouring towns such as Hawarden and Buckley. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Consents for skylight repairs & leak fixes in Deeside
Planning rules in Wales are tighter than in England for rooflights: Class C rights do not apply in conservation areas, National Parks or AONBs, so a rooflight there needs planning permission. A side-facing rooflight within 10.5 m of the boundary must be obscure-glazed, and non-opening unless the opening part is more than 1.7 m above the floor.
Approved Document L in Wales (2022 edition) sets 2.2 W/m²K for rooflights, measured horizontally, and 1.4 W/m²K or Band B for roof windows in existing homes. Wales also has its own overheating rules (Part O) for new homes, in force since November 2022.
