How we approach skylight repairs & leak fixes in Hammersmith
Thinking about skylight repairs & leak fixes in Hammersmith? The short answer: leak tracing, resealing, actuator repairs and glass replacement. The longer answer depends on your roof, which is why we survey before we price.
Many London roofs are reached only through the house or over neighbouring property, so lifting heavy glass is planned at survey rather than on the day. In Hammersmith, as anywhere, skylight repairs & leak fixes are the usual choice for rooflights that have stopped opening or started dripping.
Neighbouring towns include Shepherds Bush (1 km) and Chiswick (2 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Consents for skylight repairs & leak fixes in Hammersmith
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. 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.
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. In an extension, glazing including rooflights is normally limited to 25% of the new floor area plus any windows or doors the extension covers, unless a whole-house calculation shows otherwise.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.
