How we approach skylight repairs & leak fixes in Kidderminster
Our skylight repairs & leak fixes service in Kidderminster 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.
Midlands housing is a mix of Victorian terraces, inter-war semis and newer estates, and rear kitchen extensions with flat rooflights are a common upgrade. Typical uses for skylight repairs & leak fixes include rooflights that have stopped opening or started dripping.
Jobs in Kidderminster are planned around access: whether the roof can be reached from the garden, whether a hoist or crane is needed, and where we can park. We check this when we measure.

Planning, building control and Kidderminster
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. 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.
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. 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 charge for repair visits?
Yes, repairs are charged. We give the price before the visit.
Do you repair roof windows too?
Yes — flashings, seals, hinges and glass on pitched roof windows.
Can you fix a misted rooflight?
A misted unit means the glass seal has failed. The sealed unit, or the whole rooflight, needs replacing.
Can you work alongside my builder in Kidderminster?
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 Kidderminster?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
