What do skylight repairs & leak fixes in Stratford involve?
For Stratford homes and buildings we offer skylight repairs & leak fixes: leak tracing, resealing, actuator repairs and glass replacement. We measure first, specify to the opening and confirm any planning or building-control points before quoting.
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. In Stratford, as anywhere, skylight repairs & leak fixes are the usual choice for leaks, condensation, misted units and failed actuators.
From Stratford to Bow, Hackney and Leytonstone, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.

Do you need permission in Stratford?
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.

Common questions
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 repair an electric rooflight that will not open?
Often, yes — actuators, controllers and rain sensors can be replaced if parts are available.
Do you charge for repair visits?
Yes, repairs are charged. We give the price before the visit.
