How we approach skylight repairs & leak fixes in Jarrow
We handle skylight repairs & leak fixes across Tyne and Wear, including Jarrow. In short: leak tracing, resealing, actuator repairs and glass replacement. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Coastal exposure along the North East means we look closely at frame finishes and seals. Skylight repairs & leak fixes suit rooflights that have stopped opening or started dripping.
Jarrow sits about 2 km from Hebburn and 3 km from Wallsend, and we cover the whole NE32 postcode district and the roads in between.

Do you need permission in Jarrow?
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. 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.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Skylight repairs & leak fixes in Jarrow: questions
Can you fix a misted rooflight?
A misted unit means the glass seal has failed. The sealed unit, or the whole rooflight, needs replacing.

Yes, repairs are charged. We give the price before the visit.
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.

Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
