Skylight repairs & leak fixes in Felling: what is involved?
Thinking about skylight repairs & leak fixes in Felling? 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.
Many North East homes have loft rooms that benefit from larger roof windows with blackout blinds. Skylight repairs & leak fixes suit rooflights that have stopped opening or started dripping.
Felling is around 4 km from Newcastle upon Tyne, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Tyne and Wear, including the NE10 district.

Consents for skylight repairs & leak fixes in Felling
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.
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. 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.
