Skylight repairs & leak fixes in Cleckheaton: what is involved?
Our skylight repairs & leak fixes service in Cleckheaton 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.
Many Yorkshire homes have had kitchen extensions with flat roofs, where a larger glass rooflight is a straightforward upgrade from an old dome. Skylight repairs & leak fixes suit leaks, condensation, misted units and failed actuators.

Consents for skylight repairs & leak fixes in Cleckheaton
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. Listed buildings need listed building consent, flats have no householder permitted development rights, and an Article 4 direction can remove the rights in some conservation areas.
Building Regulations Approved Document L sets a limiting U-value of 2.2 W/m²K for new or replacement rooflights in existing homes, measured in the horizontal plane; roof windows need 1.4 W/m²K or a Band B energy rating. In an extension, glazing including rooflights is normally limited to 25% of the new floor area plus any windows or doors the extension covers, unless a whole-house calculation shows otherwise.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.
