What do skylight repairs & leak fixes in Wimbledon involve?
Thinking about skylight repairs & leak fixes in Wimbledon? The short answer: leak tracing, resealing, actuator repairs and glass replacement. The longer answer depends on your roof, which is why we survey before we price.
Many London roofs are reached only through the house or over neighbouring property, so lifting heavy glass is planned at survey rather than on the day. In Wimbledon, as anywhere, skylight repairs & leak fixes are the usual choice for rooflights that have stopped opening or started dripping.
We work across Greater London, including Wimbledon, and in neighbouring towns such as Morden and Mitcham. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
Options we can specify in Wimbledon

What to check first

Do you need permission in Wimbledon?
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. Replacing a rooflight or roof window can be self-certified by an installer registered with an authorised competent person scheme; otherwise building control approval is needed.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

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.
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.
Do you charge for repair visits?
Yes, repairs are charged. We give the price before the visit.

Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
