What do skylight repairs & leak fixes in Neath involve?
Our skylight repairs & leak fixes service in Neath 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.
Slate roofs, stone cottages and terraced valleys are typical across Wales, and slim rooflights that sit low in the slates suit them best. Skylight repairs & leak fixes suit leaks, condensation, misted units and failed actuators.
Jobs in Neath are planned around access: whether the roof can be reached from the garden, whether a hoist or crane is needed, and where we can park. We check this when we measure.
Options we can specify in Neath
- Upstand and membrane repairs
- Actuator, motor and control repairs
- Condensation diagnosis
- Resealing and re-flashing

Before you order: points to check

- Repairs are charged — the free survey applies to new installations
Do you need permission in Neath?
Planning rules in Wales are tighter than in England for rooflights: Class C rights do not apply in conservation areas, National Parks or AONBs, so a rooflight there needs planning permission. A side-facing rooflight within 10.5 m of the boundary must be obscure-glazed, and non-opening unless the opening part is more than 1.7 m above the floor.
In Wales the limiting values are 2.2 W/m²K for a rooflight and 1.4 W/m²K (or WER Band B) for a roof window in an existing house. A revised Welsh Approved Document L takes effect on 4 March 2027; rooflights in new dwellings stay at 2.2 W/m²K.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Questions about skylight repairs & leak fixes in Neath
Do you repair roof windows too?
Yes — flashings, seals, hinges and glass on pitched roof windows.
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.
Can you repair an electric rooflight that will not open?
Often, yes — actuators, controllers and rain sensors can be replaced if parts are available.
Can you work alongside my builder in Neath?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
How do I book a survey in Neath?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
