How we approach skylight repairs & leak fixes in Bury
Our skylight repairs & leak fixes service in Bury covers leak tracing, resealing, actuator repairs and glass replacement. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
Stone and brick terraces are typical across the North West, and roof windows in rear slopes are a common way to light attic rooms. Think of skylight repairs & leak fixes for rooflights that have stopped opening or started dripping.
Neighbouring towns include Radcliffe (5 km) and Heywood (5 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Do you need permission in Bury?
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. 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.
Under Approved Document L, a rooflight added to an English home must achieve at least 2.2 W/m²K (horizontal plane), and a roof window 1.4 W/m²K or Window Energy Rating Band B. 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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Common questions
Do you charge for repair visits?
Yes, repairs are charged. We give the price before the visit.
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 fix a misted rooflight?
A misted unit means the glass seal has failed. The sealed unit, or the whole rooflight, needs replacing.
How do I book a survey in Bury?

Do I need to be at home for the survey in Bury?
