Skylight repairs & leak fixes for Keighley: the essentials
Our skylight repairs & leak fixes service in Keighley 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.
Exposed Pennine and coastal towns in Yorkshire need upstand and flashing details built for wind-driven rain. Skylight repairs & leak fixes suit leaks, condensation, misted units and failed actuators.
We work across West Yorkshire, including Keighley, and in neighbouring towns such as Shipley and Guiseley. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Consents for skylight repairs & leak fixes in Keighley
English householder permitted development (Class C) normally covers rooflights that stand no more than 0.15 m proud of the roof plane and stay below the highest part of the roof. 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.
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. The Future Homes and Buildings Standards, published in March 2026, apply from 24 March 2027 and keep the 2.2 W/m²K limit for rooflights.

Common questions
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 Keighley?
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 Keighley?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
