How we approach skylight repairs & leak fixes in Christchurch
Our skylight repairs & leak fixes service in Christchurch 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 Dorset, including Christchurch, and in neighbouring towns such as Bournemouth and New Milton. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
What you can choose
- Condensation diagnosis
- Planned maintenance visits
- Glass unit replacement
- Resealing and re-flashing

- Storm and impact damage

Things we check at survey
- Commercial roofs need access and fall protection

Consents for skylight repairs & leak fixes in Christchurch
English householder permitted development (Class C) normally covers rooflights that stand no more than 0.15 m proud of the roof plane and stay below the highest part of the roof. 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.
Building Regulations Approved Document L sets a limiting U-value of 2.2 W/m²K for new or replacement rooflights in existing homes, measured in the horizontal plane; roof windows need 1.4 W/m²K or a Band B energy rating. The Future Homes and Buildings Standards, published in March 2026, apply from 24 March 2027 and keep the 2.2 W/m²K limit for rooflights.

Skylight repairs & leak fixes in Christchurch: questions
Why is my skylight leaking?
Common causes are a failed seal, a membrane that has split or lifted at the upstand, a low upstand, blocked drainage or condensation mistaken for a leak.
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.
