Skylight repairs & leak fixes in Aberfeldy: what is involved?
Our skylight repairs & leak fixes service in Aberfeldy 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.
Scottish weather is hard on roofs, so we specify rooflights and roof windows with exposure in mind and fit upstands with generous heights. Typical uses for skylight repairs & leak fixes include rooflights that have stopped opening or started dripping.
We work across Perth and Kinross, including Aberfeldy, and in neighbouring towns such as Pitlochry and Crieff. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Planning and building rules for Aberfeldy
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.
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. Forming a new opening normally involves structural work, so check with the local authority verifier whether a building warrant is needed.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Questions about skylight repairs & leak fixes in Aberfeldy
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.
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.
How do I book a survey in Aberfeldy?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
Can you work alongside my builder in Aberfeldy?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
