Skylight repairs & leak fixes for Anstruther: the essentials
Skylight repairs & leak fixes in Anstruther means leak tracing, resealing, actuator repairs and glass replacement. We cover the KY10 district and the rest of Fife, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Many Scottish homes have dormers and attic rooms where an extra roof window adds light without a full dormer. In Anstruther, as anywhere, skylight repairs & leak fixes are the usual choice for leaks, condensation, misted units and failed actuators.
We work across Fife, including Anstruther, and in neighbouring towns such as St Andrews and North Berwick. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Consents for skylight repairs & leak fixes in Anstruther
Planning rules in Scotland differ: rooflights are treated as external alterations under Class 2B, with no permitted development in conservation areas. Listed buildings need listed building consent where the work affects their character.
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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Skylight repairs & leak fixes in Anstruther: questions
Do you repair roof windows too?
Yes — flashings, seals, hinges and glass on pitched roof windows.
Why is my skylight leaking?
Common causes are a failed seal, a membrane that has split or lifted at the upstand, a low upstand, blocked drainage or condensation mistaken for a leak.
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 Anstruther?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
How do I book a survey in Anstruther?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
