Skylight repairs & leak fixes in Pitlochry: what is involved?
For Pitlochry homes and buildings we offer skylight repairs & leak fixes: leak tracing, resealing, actuator repairs and glass replacement. We measure first, specify to the opening and confirm any planning or building-control points before quoting.
Short winter days in Scotland make every square metre of overhead glass count, so rooflight sizing matters. Skylight repairs & leak fixes suit leaks, condensation, misted units and failed actuators.
Jobs in Pitlochry are planned around access: whether the roof can be reached from the garden, whether a hoist or crane is needed, and where we can park. We check this when we measure.
Specification options
- Upstand and membrane repairs
- Planned maintenance visits
- Actuator, motor and control repairs
- Resealing and re-flashing
- Glass unit replacement
- Actuator and rain-sensor repairs
- Misted unit replacement
Things we check at survey
- Parts availability varies with the age of the unit
- Water tracking can show up far from the source
Consents for skylight repairs & leak fixes in Pitlochry
Planning rules in Scotland differ: rooflights are treated as external alterations under Class 2B, with no permitted development in conservation areas. Flats and tenements are outside householder permitted development, so check with the planning authority first.
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. Replacing a rooflight, frame included, does not need a building warrant, but the work must still meet the building standards.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Questions about skylight repairs & leak fixes in Pitlochry
Can you repair an electric rooflight that will not open?
Often, yes — actuators, controllers and rain sensors can be replaced if parts are available.
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.
Can you fix a misted rooflight?
A misted unit means the glass seal has failed. The sealed unit, or the whole rooflight, needs replacing.
Can you work alongside my builder in Pitlochry?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
How do I book a survey in Pitlochry?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
