Towns we list in Lanarkshire

Fitting across Lanarkshire means planning routes, access and lifting as well as the roof itself. Narrow lanes, shared driveways and town-centre parking restrictions all affect how a large unit is delivered and raised to roof level. We ask about these early so the quote reflects them. That approach is the same everywhere we work in Scotland, from single domestic jobs to multi-unit commercial sites.

What's included

Lifted flashing or tape removed and renewed
Controlled water test where it helps pin down the entry point
Membrane splits at the upstand cut back and patched
Age of the rooflight — We weigh the age and condition of the unit before recommending a repair.
Water lying against the kerb — We check whether rainwater sits against the upstand after it stops raining.

Rules that apply in Scotland

For Scottish homes: building warrant for new rooflight openings; no warrant for replacing a rooflight complete with its frame, provided it meets the standards, including 1.6 W/m²K; planning permission in conservation areas and listed building consent for listed properties. Outside those, permitted development usually covers house rooflights, but the planning authority has the final word, so we check before you commit.

Common questions in Lanarkshire

Will resealing fix my leaking rooflight?

Sometimes. If the sealant has simply aged and the flashing, upstand and glass are sound, a careful reseal on a dry day can solve it. If the real problem is ponding water, a low upstand or a perished membrane, fresh sealant will only hide it for a while. We tell you which one you are dealing with before recommending any work, and quote the proper fix in writing.

Do you charge for a leak investigation in Lanarkshire?

Yes. Tracing a leak properly takes time on the roof, a close look at the frame and sometimes a water test, so the visit is charged. We confirm the price before you book, so there are no surprises. If a repair is needed beyond what can be done during the visit, it is quoted separately in writing and you decide whether to go ahead.

Is it condensation or a leak?

Condensation tends to appear on cold mornings, on the inner face of the glass, and runs down the frame. A leak usually follows rain or wind from a particular direction and often stains the ceiling around the opening. Blocked condensation channels can make the two look alike. Photos and a note of when it happens help us narrow it down before the visit.
