Skylight repairs & leak fixes in East Kilbride: what is involved?
Thinking about skylight repairs & leak fixes in East Kilbride? 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.
Short winter days in Scotland make every square metre of overhead glass count, so rooflight sizing matters. Typical uses for skylight repairs & leak fixes include rooflights that have stopped opening or started dripping.
We cover all of East Kilbride and the G74 district, and nearby Cambuslang and Rutherglen.

Planning and building rules for East Kilbride
In Scotland most rooflights on houses fall under Class 2B permitted development; in a conservation area, or on a listed building, consent is needed. Flats and tenements are outside householder permitted development, so check with the planning authority first.
Under the Scottish building standards, replacement rooflights should average 1.6 W/m²K or better, and no individual unit should exceed 3.3 W/m²K. Replacing a rooflight, frame included, does not need a building warrant, but the work must still meet the building standards.
