What do skylight repairs & leak fixes in Godalming involve?
Our skylight repairs & leak fixes service in Godalming 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.
Across the South East, single-storey kitchen extensions on 1930s semis and post-war detached houses are where most flat rooflights and lanterns go. Typical uses for skylight repairs & leak fixes include rooflights that have stopped opening or started dripping.
Godalming sits about 6 km from Guildford and 12 km from Aldershot, and we cover the whole GU7 postcode district and the roads in between.

Planning, building control and Godalming
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. Listed buildings need listed building consent, flats have no householder permitted development rights, and an Article 4 direction can remove the rights in some conservation areas.
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.

Questions about skylight repairs & leak fixes in Godalming
Do you repair roof windows too?
Yes — flashings, seals, hinges and glass on pitched roof windows.
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 repair an electric rooflight that will not open?
Often, yes — actuators, controllers and rain sensors can be replaced if parts are available.
Can you work alongside my builder in Godalming?
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 Godalming?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
