Skylight repairs & leak fixes for Walton-on-Thames: the essentials
Thinking about skylight repairs & leak fixes in Walton-on-Thames? 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.

Do you need permission in Walton-on-Thames?
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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.
