Common Roof Window Problems We Solve
Whether you have a modern top-hung window or a traditional centre-pivot installation, roof windows are exposed to the harshest Kent weather. We frequently resolve a wide range of common skylight problems, preventing minor issues from turning into major structural damage.Active Leaks: Often caused by degraded flashing kits, perished rubber seals, or capillary action drawing water underneath the lead aprons during heavy rain.Blown Double Glazing: If your skylight looks "steamed up" or foggy between the glass panes, the perimeter glazing seal has failed. We can often replace just the glass unit, saving you the cost of a full frame replacement.Drafts and Heat Loss: Worn gaskets and warped timber frames can compromise the thermal efficiency of your room.Mechanical Failures: We repair and replace faulty friction springs, broken hinges, and malfunctioning solar-powered blinds to restore smooth operation.

Local Building Regulations For Roof Windows
Navigating local authority rules can be daunting, but as established local experts, we guide you through the compliance process. For the vast majority of properties in West Malling, Kings Hill, and the wider Tonbridge and Malling borough, standard skylight repairs and "like-for-like" glazing replacements do not require planning permission.However, if you live in a conservation area or a listed building in a period high street, specific heritage rules may apply regarding external appearance and delicate leadwork. Regardless of the property type, we ensure all glazing upgrades and installations meet current UK Building Regulations (Part L), maintaining strict "U-value" thermal requirements to keep your home warm and energy-efficient.

Answers to common questions about our Skylight Repairs in West Malling
Why Choose First Choice Roofing Kent?
Picking the right roofer can feel like a gamble, but we aim to make it an easy choice. With over two decades of experience, we have seen every type of roof window problem imaginable. We are fully insured with Public Liability Insurance, giving you peace of mind while we are on your property.
One of the biggest reasons our customers recommend us is our "all-in" pricing. Most roofing companies will give you a price and then tell you that you need to hire a separate scaffolding firm. Not us. We include everything in the initial quote, so the price you see is the price you pay. We also stand by the quality of our work, offering 10 to 15-year guarantees on all major projects. To make things even easier, we accept all major credit and debit cards. We treat every home with the same respect we would our own, which is why we are the first choice for so many people in Kent.
How do I know if my skylight needs a repair or a full replacement?
Most leaks can be fixed by replacing the flashing kits or the rubber seals around the glass. However, if the timber frame is rotting or the double glazing has "blown" (indicated by misting between the panes), a replacement might be more cost-effective in the long run. We always try to repair first to save you money.
Can you carry out a Velux window repair in Kent during the winter?
Yes, we can. While we prefer dry weather for major installations, we can carry out emergency repairs and seal replacements year-round. We use temporary covers to make sure your home stays dry while we work on the window.
Why is water dripping from my skylight even when it isn't raining?
This is a common issue often caused by condensation rather than a leak. If the room below has high humidity (like a kitchen or bathroom) and the window isn't well-insulated, water can collect on the glass and drip down. We can help by checking your seals and suggesting better ventilation or upgraded glass.
How long does a typical skylight repair take?
Most minor repairs, such as replacing a hinge or fixing a small leak, can be finished within a few hours. If we need to replace the flashing or the entire unit, it usually takes about half a day. We always work efficiently to minimise the time we spend in your home.
