Skylight repairs & leak fixes in Stoke-on-Trent: what is involved?
We handle skylight repairs & leak fixes across Staffordshire, including Stoke-on-Trent. In short: leak tracing, resealing, actuator repairs and glass replacement. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Industrial and commercial units around Midlands towns often still have their original rooflight sheets, which are due for replacement. Typical uses for skylight repairs & leak fixes include rooflights that have stopped opening or started dripping.
Stoke-on-Trent is the main town we list in Staffordshire; we also cover nearby Newcastle-under-Lyme and Longton.

Planning and building rules for Stoke-on-Trent
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.

Skylight repairs & leak fixes in Stoke-on-Trent: questions
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.
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 Stoke-on-Trent?
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 Stoke-on-Trent?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
