Skylight repairs & leak fixes for Brierley Hill: the essentials
For Brierley Hill homes and buildings we offer skylight repairs & leak fixes: leak tracing, resealing, actuator repairs and glass replacement. We measure first, specify to the opening and confirm any planning or building-control points before quoting.
Bungalows are common across parts of the Midlands, and sun tunnels or roof windows are a quick way to brighten internal hallways. In Brierley Hill, as anywhere, skylight repairs & leak fixes are the usual choice for leaks, condensation, misted units and failed actuators.
We work across the West Midlands, including Brierley Hill, and in neighbouring towns such as Stourbridge and Dudley. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
What you can choose
- Glass unit replacement
- Actuator, motor and control repairs
- Upstand and membrane repairs
- Condensation diagnosis
- Resealing and re-flashing
- Honest repair-or-replace advice
- Leak tracing, not guesswork
Before you order: points to check
- Water tracking can show up far from the source
- Repairs are charged — the free survey applies to new installations
Planning and building rules for Brierley Hill
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.
Under Approved Document L, a rooflight added to an English home must achieve at least 2.2 W/m²K (horizontal plane), and a roof window 1.4 W/m²K or Window Energy Rating Band B. 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.

Common questions
Is it condensation or a leak?
Condensation forms on the inside face on cold days and comes back in the same pattern. A leak appears when it rains and often tracks down the reveal.
Can you repair an electric rooflight that will not open?
Often, yes — actuators, controllers and rain sensors can be replaced if parts are available.
Do you charge for repair visits?
Yes, repairs are charged. We give the price before the visit.
Can you work alongside my builder in Brierley Hill?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
