Skylight repairs & leak fixes for Flint: the essentials
We handle skylight repairs & leak fixes across Clwyd, including Flint. In short: leak tracing, resealing, actuator repairs and glass replacement. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Welsh planning rules exclude rooflights from permitted development in conservation areas and National Parks, so we check the designation before quoting. In Flint, as anywhere, skylight repairs & leak fixes are the usual choice for rooflights that have stopped opening or started dripping.
Jobs in Flint 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.

Planning, building control and Flint
In Wales a rooflight on a house is usually permitted development if it stands no more than 15 cm proud of the roof, except on protected land such as conservation areas and National Parks, where permission is needed. Listed buildings need listed building consent from the council, and flats have no householder permitted development rights.
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.

Common questions
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.
Can you repair an electric rooflight that will not open?
Often, yes — actuators, controllers and rain sensors can be replaced if parts are available.
Do you repair roof windows too?
Yes — flashings, seals, hinges and glass on pitched roof windows.
