What do skylight repairs & leak fixes in Perth involve?
We handle skylight repairs & leak fixes across Perth and Kinross, including Perth. In short: leak tracing, resealing, actuator repairs and glass replacement. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Scottish weather is hard on roofs, so we specify rooflights and roof windows with exposure in mind and fit upstands with generous heights. Skylight repairs & leak fixes suit rooflights that have stopped opening or started dripping.
We cover all of Perth and the PH1 district, and nearby Auchterarder and Kinross.
What you can choose
- Actuator, motor and control repairs
- Glass unit replacement
- Upstand and membrane repairs
- Planned maintenance visits
- Resealing and re-flashing
- Seal and flashing repairs
- Actuator and rain-sensor repairs
Things we check at survey
- Commercial roofs need access and fall protection
- Parts availability varies with the age of the unit
Do you need permission in Perth?
Planning rules in Scotland differ: rooflights are treated as external alterations under Class 2B, with no permitted development in conservation areas. Listed buildings need listed building consent where the work affects their character.
Scottish energy standards for glazing, including rooflights, use an area-weighted average of 1.4–1.6 W/m²K in extensions, so most modern units comply comfortably. Forming a new opening normally involves structural work, so check with the local authority verifier whether a building warrant is needed.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Skylight repairs & leak fixes in Perth: questions
Do you repair roof windows too?
Yes — flashings, seals, hinges and glass on pitched roof windows.
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.
Do you charge for repair visits?
Yes, repairs are charged. We give the price before the visit.
How do I book a survey in Perth?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
