Skylight repairs & leak fixes for Airdrie: the essentials
For Airdrie 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.
Short winter days in Scotland make every square metre of overhead glass count, so rooflight sizing matters. Skylight repairs & leak fixes suit rooflights that have stopped opening or started dripping.
Jobs in Airdrie are planned around access: whether the roof can be reached from the garden, whether a hoist or crane is needed, and where we can park. We check this when we measure.

Consents for skylight repairs & leak fixes in Airdrie
In Scotland most rooflights on houses fall under Class 2B permitted development; in a conservation area, or on a listed building, consent is needed. Listed buildings need listed building consent where the work affects their character.
Scotland's Technical Handbook (section 6) asks for windows, doors and rooflights in an extension to average 1.4–1.6 W/m²K, with no single unit worse than 3.3 W/m²K. Forming a new opening normally involves structural work, so check with the local authority verifier whether a building warrant is needed.

Common questions
Is it condensation or a leak?
Condensation forms on the inside face on cold days and comes back in the same pattern. A leak appears when it rains and often tracks down the reveal.
Do you charge for repair visits?
Yes, repairs are charged. We give the price before the visit.
Why is my skylight leaking?
Common causes are a failed seal, a membrane that has split or lifted at the upstand, a low upstand, blocked drainage or condensation mistaken for a leak.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Airdrie?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
