Skylight repairs & leak fixes for Seaford: the essentials
Skylight repairs & leak fixes in Seaford means leak tracing, resealing, actuator repairs and glass replacement. We cover the BN25 district and the rest of East Sussex, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Across the South East, single-storey kitchen extensions on 1930s semis and post-war detached houses are where most flat rooflights and lanterns go. Skylight repairs & leak fixes suit rooflights that have stopped opening or started dripping.
Neighbouring towns include Rottingdean (12 km) and Eastbourne (13 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Consents for skylight repairs & leak fixes in Seaford
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. 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.
