Skylight repairs & leak fixes for Hounslow: the essentials
We handle skylight repairs & leak fixes across Greater London, including Hounslow. In short: leak tracing, resealing, actuator repairs and glass replacement. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Victorian and Edwardian terraces with narrow side returns are typical of much of London, and a glass roof or long flat rooflight is the usual way to keep the back rooms bright once the return is built over. Typical uses for skylight repairs & leak fixes include leaks, condensation, misted units and failed actuators.
Neighbouring towns include Isleworth (1 km) and Twickenham (3 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Consents for skylight repairs & leak fixes in Hounslow
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.
