Skylight repairs & leak fixes in Reigate: what is involved?
Thinking about skylight repairs & leak fixes in Reigate? The short answer: leak tracing, resealing, actuator repairs and glass replacement. The longer answer depends on your roof, which is why we survey before we price.
Larger gardens in much of the South East mean deeper rear extensions, and deeper rooms need light from above rather than only from the doors. Skylight repairs & leak fixes suit leaks, condensation, misted units and failed actuators.
Neighbouring towns include Redhill (2 km) and Horley (8 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Planning and building rules for Reigate
In England a rooflight on a house is usually permitted development under Class C if it projects no more than 150 mm beyond the roof slope and sits no higher than the ridge. 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.
Building Regulations Approved Document L sets a limiting U-value of 2.2 W/m²K for new or replacement rooflights in existing homes, measured in the horizontal plane; roof windows need 1.4 W/m²K or a Band B energy rating. 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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Skylight repairs & leak fixes in Reigate: questions
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.
Why is my skylight leaking?
Common causes are a failed seal, a membrane that has split or lifted at the upstand, a low upstand, blocked drainage or condensation mistaken for a leak.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Reigate?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
How do I book a survey in Reigate?
