What do skylight repairs & leak fixes in Dundee involve?
Our skylight repairs & leak fixes service in Dundee 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.
Short winter days in Scotland make every square metre of overhead glass count, so rooflight sizing matters. Skylight repairs & leak fixes suit rooflights that have stopped opening or started dripping.
We cover all of Dundee and the DD1 district, and nearby Carnoustie and Cupar.

Planning and building rules for Dundee
Scottish householder permitted development (Class 2B, other external alterations) can cover a rooflight that projects no more than 1 metre from the roof, but the right does not apply in conservation areas. Flats and tenements are outside householder permitted development, so check with the planning authority first.
Under the Scottish building standards, replacement rooflights should average 1.6 W/m²K or better, and no individual unit should exceed 3.3 W/m²K. Replacing a rooflight, frame included, does not need a building warrant, but the work must still meet the building standards.

Questions about skylight repairs & leak fixes in Dundee
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.
Can you fix a misted rooflight?
A misted unit means the glass seal has failed. The sealed unit, or the whole rooflight, needs replacing.
