How we approach skylight repairs & leak fixes in Risca
We handle skylight repairs & leak fixes across Gwent, including Risca. In short: leak tracing, resealing, actuator repairs and glass replacement. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Welsh planning rules exclude rooflights from permitted development in conservation areas and National Parks, so we check the designation before quoting. In Risca, as anywhere, skylight repairs & leak fixes are the usual choice for leaks, condensation, misted units and failed actuators.
From Risca to Newport, Gwent, Cwmbran and Caerphilly, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.

Planning, building control and Risca
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.
Approved Document L in Wales (2022 edition) sets 2.2 W/m²K for rooflights, measured horizontally, and 1.4 W/m²K or Band B for roof windows in existing homes. Wales also has its own overheating rules (Part O) for new homes, in force since November 2022.
