How we approach skylight repairs & leak fixes in Dartford
We handle skylight repairs & leak fixes across Kent, including Dartford. In short: leak tracing, resealing, actuator repairs and glass replacement. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Period cottages and conservation-area streets are common in the South East, so slim conservation rooflights are often the right choice. Think of skylight repairs & leak fixes for rooflights that have stopped opening or started dripping.

Do you need permission in Dartford?
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.
For English homes the energy rules ask for rooflights of 2.2 W/m²K or better and roof windows of 1.4 W/m²K (or WER Band B); most modern double glazed units meet both. 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.
