Skylight repairs & leak fixes for Bath: the essentials
We handle skylight repairs & leak fixes across Somerset, including Bath. In short: leak tracing, resealing, actuator repairs and glass replacement. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Western coasts take wind-driven rain, so we pay close attention to upstand height and flashing laps on exposed roofs. Think of skylight repairs & leak fixes for rooflights that have stopped opening or started dripping.
Bath is the main town we list in Somerset; we also cover nearby Trowbridge and Kingswood.
What you can choose

Planning, building control and Bath
English householder permitted development (Class C) normally covers rooflights that stand no more than 0.15 m proud of the roof plane and stay below the highest part of the roof. 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. In an extension, glazing including rooflights is normally limited to 25% of the new floor area plus any windows or doors the extension covers, unless a whole-house calculation shows otherwise.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.
