Skylight repairs & leak fixes for Pontypool: the essentials
For Pontypool 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.
Slate roofs, stone cottages and terraced valleys are typical across Wales, and slim rooflights that sit low in the slates suit them best. Skylight repairs & leak fixes suit leaks, condensation, misted units and failed actuators.
Pontypool sits about 5 km from Cwmbran and 11 km from Risca, and we cover the whole NP4 postcode district and the roads in between.
Specification options
- Condensation diagnosis
- Upstand and membrane repairs
- Resealing and re-flashing
- Glass unit replacement
- Planned maintenance visits
- Actuator and rain-sensor repairs
- Leak tracing, not guesswork
Before you order: points to check
- Parts availability varies with the age of the unit
- Water tracking can show up far from the source
Planning, building control and Pontypool
Welsh householder permitted development (Class C) allows rooflights that project no more than 15 cm and sit no higher than the existing roof — but not in conservation areas, National Parks, AONBs or World Heritage Sites. Listed buildings need listed building consent from the council, and flats have no householder permitted development rights.
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. Wales also has its own overheating rules (Part O) for new homes, in force since November 2022.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Questions about skylight repairs & leak fixes in Pontypool
Do you charge for repair visits?
Yes, repairs are charged. We give the price before the visit.
Why is my skylight leaking?
Common causes are a failed seal, a membrane that has split or lifted at the upstand, a low upstand, blocked drainage or condensation mistaken for a leak.
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 I need to be at home for the survey in Pontypool?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
How do I book a survey in Pontypool?
