What do skylight repairs & leak fixes in Newport, Gwent involve?
Our skylight repairs & leak fixes service in Newport, Gwent 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.

Consents for skylight repairs & leak fixes in Newport, Gwent
Planning rules in Wales are tighter than in England for rooflights: Class C rights do not apply in conservation areas, National Parks or AONBs, so a rooflight there needs planning permission. A side-facing rooflight within 10.5 m of the boundary must be obscure-glazed, and non-opening unless the opening part is more than 1.7 m above the floor.
In Wales the limiting values are 2.2 W/m²K for a rooflight and 1.4 W/m²K (or WER Band B) for a roof window in an existing house. A revised Welsh Approved Document L takes effect on 4 March 2027; rooflights in new dwellings stay at 2.2 W/m²K.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.
