What do skylight repairs & leak fixes in Redditch involve?
Our skylight repairs & leak fixes service in Redditch 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.
Older terraced streets in Midlands towns often have back additions and side passages that suit a ridge rooflight or long flat rooflight. Typical uses for skylight repairs & leak fixes include leaks, condensation, misted units and failed actuators.
Redditch sits about 8 km from Bromsgrove and 11 km from Alcester, and we cover the whole B97 postcode district and the roads in between.

Planning, building control and Redditch
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.
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. 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.

Skylight repairs & leak fixes in Redditch: questions
Do you charge for repair visits?
Yes, repairs are charged. We give the price before the visit.
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.
Can you fix a misted rooflight?
A misted unit means the glass seal has failed. The sealed unit, or the whole rooflight, needs replacing.
How do I book a survey in Redditch?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Redditch?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
