What do skylight repairs & leak fixes in Market Drayton involve?
Skylight repairs & leak fixes in Market Drayton means leak tracing, resealing, actuator repairs and glass replacement. We cover the TF9 district and the rest of Shropshire, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Many Midlands semis have had a single-storey rear extension added, and a larger flat rooflight or lantern is often the change that makes it feel finished. In Market Drayton, as anywhere, skylight repairs & leak fixes are the usual choice for leaks, condensation, misted units and failed actuators.
Neighbouring towns include Whitchurch (15 km) and Newcastle-under-Lyme (20 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Consents for skylight repairs & leak fixes in Market Drayton
Most rooflights on English houses do not need planning permission, provided they keep within 150 mm of the roof surface and below the ridge line. A rooflight on a side-facing slope must be obscure-glazed, and fixed shut unless the opening part is more than 1.7 m above the floor.
For English homes the energy rules ask for rooflights of 2.2 W/m²K or better and roof windows of 1.4 W/m²K (or WER Band B); most modern double glazed units meet both. The Future Homes and Buildings Standards, published in March 2026, apply from 24 March 2027 and keep the 2.2 W/m²K limit for rooflights.

Yes — flashings, seals, hinges and glass on pitched roof windows.
Do you charge for repair visits?
Yes, repairs are charged. We give the price before the visit.
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 I need to be at home for the survey in Market Drayton?
