Skylight repairs & leak fixes for Andover: the essentials
Skylight repairs & leak fixes in Andover means leak tracing, resealing, actuator repairs and glass replacement. We cover the SP10 district and the rest of Hampshire, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Larger gardens in much of the South East mean deeper rear extensions, and deeper rooms need light from above rather than only from the doors. In Andover, as anywhere, skylight repairs & leak fixes are the usual choice for leaks, condensation, misted units and failed actuators.
Andover is around 35 km from Southampton, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Hampshire, including the SP10 district.

Do you need permission in Andover?
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. 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.

Skylight repairs & leak fixes in Andover: 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.
Do you repair roof windows too?
Yes — flashings, seals, hinges and glass on pitched roof windows.
Can you work alongside my builder in Andover?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
How do I book a survey in Andover?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
