Skylight repairs & leak fixes for New Milton: the essentials
For New Milton 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.
Period cottages and conservation-area streets are common in the South East, so slim conservation rooflights are often the right choice. Skylight repairs & leak fixes suit leaks, condensation, misted units and failed actuators.
We work across Hampshire, including New Milton, and in neighbouring towns such as Christchurch and Bournemouth. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Planning, building control and New Milton
English householder permitted development (Class C) normally covers rooflights that stand no more than 0.15 m proud of the roof plane and stay below the highest part of the roof. A rooflight on a side-facing slope must be obscure-glazed, and fixed shut unless the opening part is more than 1.7 m above the floor.
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. The Future Homes and Buildings Standards, published in March 2026, apply from 24 March 2027 and keep the 2.2 W/m²K limit for rooflights.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.
