Skylight repairs & leak fixes in Marlborough: what is involved?
For Marlborough 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.
Western coasts take wind-driven rain, so we pay close attention to upstand height and flashing laps on exposed roofs. In Marlborough, as anywhere, skylight repairs & leak fixes are the usual choice for rooflights that have stopped opening or started dripping.
We work across Wiltshire, including Marlborough, and in neighbouring towns such as Swindon and Devizes. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
Choices for your Marlborough project
- Actuator, motor and control repairs
- Resealing and re-flashing

Before you order: points to check
- Parts availability varies with the age of the unit
- Water tracking can show up far from the source
Planning and building rules for Marlborough
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. 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.
For English homes the energy rules ask for rooflights of 2.2 W/m²K or better and roof windows of 1.4 W/m²K (or WER Band B); most modern double glazed units meet both. 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.
