What do skylight repairs & leak fixes in Waterlooville involve?
Thinking about skylight repairs & leak fixes in Waterlooville? The short answer: leak tracing, resealing, actuator repairs and glass replacement. The longer answer depends on your roof, which is why we survey before we price.
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. Typical uses for skylight repairs & leak fixes include rooflights that have stopped opening or started dripping.
Waterlooville is around 26 km from Southampton, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Hampshire, including the PO7 district.

Planning and building rules for Waterlooville
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. In an extension, glazing including rooflights is normally limited to 25% of the new floor area plus any windows or doors the extension covers, unless a whole-house calculation shows otherwise.
