What do skylight repairs & leak fixes in Cromer involve?
Our skylight repairs & leak fixes service in Cromer 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 homes in the East have low-pitched roofs on later extensions, which are better served by flat rooflights than pitched roof windows. Typical uses for skylight repairs & leak fixes include rooflights that have stopped opening or started dripping.
Neighbouring towns include Fakenham (32 km) and Norwich (34 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Planning, building control and Cromer
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. 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.
Building Regulations Approved Document L sets a limiting U-value of 2.2 W/m²K for new or replacement rooflights in existing homes, measured in the horizontal plane; roof windows need 1.4 W/m²K or a Band B energy rating. 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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

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.

Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
