Skylight repairs & leak fixes in Coleraine: what is involved?
Our skylight repairs & leak fixes service in Coleraine 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.
Bungalows are widespread in Northern Ireland, and sun tunnels or roof windows are an easy way to brighten internal hallways. Skylight repairs & leak fixes suit rooflights that have stopped opening or started dripping.
Neighbouring towns include Limavady (20 km) and Ballymena (39 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Planning and building rules for Coleraine
In Northern Ireland, roof alterations come under Class B of the 2015 order: a rooflight facing a road must not project more than 15 cm and must sit at least 0.5 m from the ridge, eaves, verge and party wall. Listed buildings also need listed building consent from the council.
Northern Ireland's energy rules assess rooflight U-values in the vertical position — unlike England and Wales — and expect 1.6 W/m²K or Band C for replacements. Extensions follow a 25% glazing allowance in Technical Booklet F1.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Common questions
Do you charge for repair visits?
Yes, repairs are charged. We give the price before the visit.
Can you fix a misted rooflight?
A misted unit means the glass seal has failed. The sealed unit, or the whole rooflight, needs replacing.
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.
Do you offer skylight repairs & leak fixes in Coleraine?
Yes. We carry out skylight repairs & leak fixes in Coleraine and across County Londonderry. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
Can you work alongside my builder in Coleraine?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
