What do skylight repairs & leak fixes in Peebles involve?
Our skylight repairs & leak fixes service in Peebles 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 Scottish homes have dormers and attic rooms where an extra roof window adds light without a full dormer. Think of skylight repairs & leak fixes for leaks, condensation, misted units and failed actuators.
Peebles is around 24 km from Galashiels, and we survey and fit throughout that part of the Scottish Borders, including the EH45 district.

Do you need permission in Peebles?
In Scotland most rooflights on houses fall under Class 2B permitted development; in a conservation area, or on a listed building, consent is needed. Flats and tenements are outside householder permitted development, so check with the planning authority first.
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. Replacing a rooflight, frame included, does not need a building warrant, but the work must still meet the building standards.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Do you charge for repair visits?

Do you repair roof windows too?
Yes — flashings, seals, hinges and glass on pitched roof windows.
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.
Can you work alongside my builder in Peebles?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.

Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
