Skylight repairs & leak fixes in Guiseley: what is involved?
Our skylight repairs & leak fixes service in Guiseley 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.
Stone-built terraces are common across Yorkshire, and roof windows in the rear slope are a popular way to light attic rooms. Think of skylight repairs & leak fixes for rooflights that have stopped opening or started dripping.
We work across West Yorkshire, including Guiseley, and in neighbouring towns such as Yeadon and Shipley. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Planning and building rules for Guiseley
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.
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.

Questions about skylight repairs & leak fixes in Guiseley
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.
Do you charge for repair visits?
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.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Guiseley?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
