How we approach skylight repairs & leak fixes in Norwich
Our skylight repairs & leak fixes service in Norwich 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.
Barn conversions and timber-framed homes across the East often call for conservation rooflights or bespoke glass. In Norwich, as anywhere, skylight repairs & leak fixes are the usual choice for rooflights that have stopped opening or started dripping.
Norwich is the main town we list in Norfolk; we also cover nearby Wymondham and Great Yarmouth.

Do you need permission in Norwich?
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.
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. 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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Questions about skylight repairs & leak fixes in Norwich
Can you repair an electric rooflight that will not open?
Often, yes — actuators, controllers and rain sensors can be replaced if parts are available.
Do you repair roof windows too?
Yes — flashings, seals, hinges and glass on pitched roof windows.
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 Norwich?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
Can you work alongside my builder in Norwich?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
