Skylight repairs & leak fixes for Crouch End: the essentials
Our skylight repairs & leak fixes service in Crouch End 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.
Party walls are a fact of life in London terraces, and rooflights close to a shared wall need detailing that keeps the neighbour's side dry too. Skylight repairs & leak fixes suit rooflights that have stopped opening or started dripping.
We work across Greater London, including Crouch End, and in neighbouring towns such as Muswell Hill and Wood Green. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Planning and building rules for Crouch End
Most rooflights on English houses do not need planning permission, provided they keep within 150 mm of the roof surface and below the ridge line. 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. The Future Homes and Buildings Standards, published in March 2026, apply from 24 March 2027 and keep the 2.2 W/m²K limit for rooflights.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.
