Skylight repairs & leak fixes in Strood: what is involved?
Our skylight repairs & leak fixes service in Strood covers leak tracing, resealing, actuator repairs and glass replacement. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
Many South East homes have been extended more than once, and an old dome over an earlier extension is often due for replacement. Think of skylight repairs & leak fixes for rooflights that have stopped opening or started dripping.
We work across Kent, including Strood, and in neighbouring towns such as Rochester and Chatham. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Consents for skylight repairs & leak fixes in Strood
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.
