Skylight repairs & leak fixes in Llandrindod Wells: what is involved?
For Llandrindod Wells 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.
Chapels, barns and farm buildings converted across Wales often need bespoke or conservation-style glass. Typical uses for skylight repairs & leak fixes include rooflights that have stopped opening or started dripping.
Jobs in Llandrindod Wells 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.
What you can choose
- Condensation diagnosis
- Resealing and re-flashing
- Upstand and membrane repairs
- Glass unit replacement
- Actuator, motor and control repairs
- Storm and impact damage
- Seal and flashing 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 Llandrindod Wells?
Planning rules in Wales are tighter than in England for rooflights: Class C rights do not apply in conservation areas, National Parks or AONBs, so a rooflight there needs planning permission. Listed buildings need listed building consent from the council, and flats have no householder permitted development rights.
Welsh Building Regulations expect new or replacement rooflights to reach 2.2 W/m²K and roof windows 1.4 W/m²K or a Band B rating. A revised Welsh Approved Document L takes effect on 4 March 2027; rooflights in new dwellings stay at 2.2 W/m²K.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Common questions
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 repair roof windows too?
Yes — flashings, seals, hinges and glass on pitched roof windows.
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 Llandrindod Wells?
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 Llandrindod Wells?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
