Skylight repairs & leak fixes in Shepherds Bush: what is involved?
We handle skylight repairs & leak fixes across Greater London, including Shepherds Bush. In short: leak tracing, resealing, actuator repairs and glass replacement. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
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. Typical uses for skylight repairs & leak fixes include leaks, condensation, misted units and failed actuators.
From Shepherds Bush to Notting Hill, Hammersmith and Kensington, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.

Planning and building rules for Shepherds Bush
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.
Building Regulations Approved Document L sets a limiting U-value of 2.2 W/m²K for new or replacement rooflights in existing homes, measured in the horizontal plane; roof windows need 1.4 W/m²K or a Band B energy rating. 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.
