Skylight repairs & leak fixes for Newport, Isle of Wight: the essentials
We handle skylight repairs & leak fixes across the Isle of Wight, including Newport, Isle of Wight. In short: leak tracing, resealing, actuator repairs and glass replacement. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
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. Skylight repairs & leak fixes suit rooflights that have stopped opening or started dripping.
We cover all of Newport, Isle of Wight and the PO30 district, and nearby Cowes and Ryde.

Consents for skylight repairs & leak fixes in Newport, Isle of Wight
Most rooflights on English houses do not need planning permission, provided they keep within 150 mm of the roof surface and below the ridge line. 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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.
