What do skylight repairs & leak fixes in Cardigan involve?
Our skylight repairs & leak fixes service in Cardigan 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.
Wales sees a lot of wind-driven rain, particularly in the west, so upstand height and flashing laps matter more than anywhere. Skylight repairs & leak fixes suit leaks, condensation, misted units and failed actuators.
We work across Dyfed, including Cardigan, and in neighbouring towns such as Carmarthen and Haverfordwest. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
What you can choose
- Condensation diagnosis
- Glass unit replacement
- Resealing and re-flashing
- Planned maintenance visits
- Actuator, motor and control repairs
- Honest repair-or-replace advice
- Storm and impact damage
Things we check at survey
- Parts availability varies with the age of the unit
- Repairs are charged — the free survey applies to new installations
Planning and building rules for Cardigan
Planning rules in Wales are tighter than in England for rooflights: Class C rights do not apply in conservation areas, National Parks or AONBs, so a rooflight there needs planning permission. A side-facing rooflight within 10.5 m of the boundary must be obscure-glazed, and non-opening unless the opening part is more than 1.7 m above the floor.
In Wales the limiting values are 2.2 W/m²K for a rooflight and 1.4 W/m²K (or WER Band B) for a roof window in an existing house. 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.

Common questions
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 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.
Do you offer skylight repairs & leak fixes in Cardigan?
Yes. We carry out skylight repairs & leak fixes in Cardigan and across Dyfed. Send your postcode and we will offer a survey date when we reply.
Can you work alongside my builder in Cardigan?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
