What do skylight repairs & leak fixes in Aberystwyth involve?
For Aberystwyth 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.
Chapels, barns and farm buildings converted across Wales often need bespoke or conservation-style glass. Skylight repairs & leak fixes suit leaks, condensation, misted units and failed actuators.
From Aberystwyth to Machynlleth, Dolgellau and Llandrindod Wells, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.
Specification options
- Glass unit replacement
- Actuator, motor and control repairs
- Resealing and re-flashing
- Planned maintenance visits
- Condensation diagnosis
- Leak tracing, not guesswork
- Misted unit replacement
What to check first
- Parts availability varies with the age of the unit
- Water tracking can show up far from the source
Planning and building rules for Aberystwyth
In Wales a rooflight on a house is usually permitted development if it stands no more than 15 cm proud of the roof, except on protected land such as conservation areas and National Parks, where permission is needed. Listed buildings need listed building consent from the council, and flats have no householder permitted development rights.
Approved Document L in Wales (2022 edition) sets 2.2 W/m²K for rooflights, measured horizontally, and 1.4 W/m²K or Band B for roof windows in existing homes. Wales also has its own overheating rules (Part O) for new homes, in force since November 2022.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Can you repair an electric rooflight that will not open?
Often, yes — actuators, controllers and rain sensors can be replaced if parts are available.
Do you repair roof windows too?
Yes — flashings, seals, hinges and glass on pitched roof windows.
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.
