What do skylight repairs & leak fixes in Cookstown involve?
For Cookstown homes and buildings we offer skylight repairs & leak fixes: leak tracing, resealing, actuator repairs and glass replacement. We measure first, specify to the opening and confirm any planning or building-control points before quoting.
Conservation areas and listed buildings in Northern Ireland are excluded from householder permitted development, so we check before quoting. Typical uses for skylight repairs & leak fixes include leaks, condensation, misted units and failed actuators.
Cookstown sits about 12 km from Coalisland and 15 km from Magherafelt, and we cover the whole BT80 postcode district and the roads in between.

Planning, building control and Cookstown
Most rooflights on houses in Northern Ireland are permitted development under Class B, but not in a conservation area or on a listed building's curtilage. Listed buildings also need listed building consent from the council.
Technical Booklet F1 (2022) asks for replacement windows and rooflights in existing homes to reach WER Band C or a U-value of 1.6 W/m²K, assessed in the vertical position. Extensions follow a 25% glazing allowance in Technical Booklet F1.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.
