Skylight repairs & leak fixes for Cramlington: the essentials
Our skylight repairs & leak fixes service in Cramlington 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 North East homes have loft rooms that benefit from larger roof windows with blackout blinds. Skylight repairs & leak fixes suit leaks, condensation, misted units and failed actuators.
We work across Northumberland, including Cramlington, and in neighbouring towns such as Blyth and Gosforth. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Planning and building rules for Cramlington
Most rooflights on English houses do not need planning permission, provided they keep within 150 mm of the roof surface and below the ridge line. 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.
For English homes the energy rules ask for rooflights of 2.2 W/m²K or better and roof windows of 1.4 W/m²K (or WER Band B); most modern double glazed units meet both. 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.

Common questions
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 you charge for repair visits?
Yes, repairs are charged. We give the price before the visit.
Can you repair an electric rooflight that will not open?
Often, yes — actuators, controllers and rain sensors can be replaced if parts are available.
Can you work alongside my builder in Cramlington?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Cramlington?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
