What do skylight repairs & leak fixes in Hornsea involve?
Our skylight repairs & leak fixes service in Hornsea 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.
Exposed Pennine and coastal towns in Yorkshire need upstand and flashing details built for wind-driven rain. In Hornsea, as anywhere, skylight repairs & leak fixes are the usual choice for rooflights that have stopped opening or started dripping.
We work across the East Riding of Yorkshire, including Hornsea, and in neighbouring towns such as Beverley and Bridlington. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Planning, building control and Hornsea
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. A rooflight on a side-facing slope must be obscure-glazed, and fixed shut unless the opening part is more than 1.7 m above the floor.
For English homes the energy rules ask for rooflights of 2.2 W/m²K or better and roof windows of 1.4 W/m²K (or WER Band B); most modern double glazed units meet both. Replacing a rooflight or roof window can be self-certified by an installer registered with an authorised competent person scheme; otherwise building control approval is needed.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Other services in Hornsea
Skylight repairs & leak fixes in Hornsea: questions
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.
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.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Hornsea?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
Can you work alongside my builder in Hornsea?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
