Skylight repairs & leak fixes in Bentley: what is involved?
For Bentley 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.
Stone-built terraces are common across Yorkshire, and roof windows in the rear slope are a popular way to light attic rooms. Typical uses for skylight repairs & leak fixes include leaks, condensation, misted units and failed actuators.
From Bentley to Doncaster, Rotherham and Pontefract, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.
What you can choose
- Glass unit replacement
- Upstand and membrane repairs
- Condensation diagnosis
- Actuator, motor and control repairs
- Resealing and re-flashing
- Misted unit replacement
- Storm and impact damage
Before you order: points to check
- Parts availability varies with the age of the unit
- Repairs are charged — the free survey applies to new installations
Planning, building control and Bentley
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.
Under Approved Document L, a rooflight added to an English home must achieve at least 2.2 W/m²K (horizontal plane), and a roof window 1.4 W/m²K or Window Energy Rating Band B. Replacing a rooflight or roof window can be self-certified by an installer registered with an authorised competent person scheme; otherwise building control approval is needed.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Common questions
Do you repair roof windows too?
Yes — flashings, seals, hinges and glass on pitched roof windows.
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.
