Skylight repairs & leak fixes for Bodmin: the essentials
Our skylight repairs & leak fixes service in Bodmin 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.
Western coasts take wind-driven rain, so we pay close attention to upstand height and flashing laps on exposed roofs. Think of skylight repairs & leak fixes for leaks, condensation, misted units and failed actuators.
We work across Cornwall, including Bodmin, and in neighbouring towns such as St Austell and Newquay. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Do you need permission in Bodmin?
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.
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.
