Skylight repairs & leak fixes for Peckham: the essentials
Skylight repairs & leak fixes in Peckham means leak tracing, resealing, actuator repairs and glass replacement. We cover the SE15 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. Think of skylight repairs & leak fixes for leaks, condensation, misted units and failed actuators.

Consents for skylight repairs & leak fixes in Peckham
In England a rooflight on a house is usually permitted development under Class C if it projects no more than 150 mm beyond the roof slope and sits no higher than the ridge. 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. 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.

Common questions
Can you repair an electric rooflight that will not open?
Often, yes — actuators, controllers and rain sensors can be replaced if parts are available.
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.
Do you charge for repair visits?
Yes, repairs are charged. We give the price before the visit.
Can you work alongside my builder in Peckham?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
How do I book a survey in Peckham?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
