Skylight repairs & leak fixes in Hampton: what is involved?
Skylight repairs & leak fixes in Hampton means leak tracing, resealing, actuator repairs and glass replacement. We cover the TW12 district and the rest of Greater London, with a survey before any price is fixed.
London homes often run deep from front to back, so the middle of the ground floor is the darkest space — exactly where an overhead rooflight earns its keep. Skylight repairs & leak fixes suit leaks, condensation, misted units and failed actuators.
Neighbouring towns include Sunbury-on-Thames (4 km) and Walton-on-Thames (4 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Planning, building control and Hampton
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. 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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Skylight repairs & leak fixes in Hampton: questions
Do you repair roof windows too?
Yes — flashings, seals, hinges and glass on pitched roof windows.
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.
Can you fix a misted rooflight?
A misted unit means the glass seal has failed. The sealed unit, or the whole rooflight, needs replacing.
How do I book a survey in Hampton?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
Can you work alongside my builder in Hampton?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
