Skylight repairs & leak fixes for Alcester: the essentials
Our skylight repairs & leak fixes service in Alcester 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.
Older terraced streets in Midlands towns often have back additions and side passages that suit a ridge rooflight or long flat rooflight. In Alcester, as anywhere, skylight repairs & leak fixes are the usual choice for leaks, condensation, misted units and failed actuators.
Neighbouring towns include Stratford-upon-Avon (11 km) and Redditch (11 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Do you need permission in Alcester?
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. Replacing a rooflight or roof window can be self-certified by an installer registered with an authorised competent person scheme; otherwise building control approval is needed.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.
