Velux Window Installation

Velux Window Installation

Natural light without the disruption A well-fitted Velux window can transform a dark loft or landing into a genuinely usable space, letting in natural light without the cost and disruption of a dormer extension. The result only ever lasts as long as the flashing around it, though - most of the leaks we get called out to fix started life as a good window let down by a flashing kit that wasn't quite matched to the roof covering.

Flashed to suit your roof covering We fit new Velux and roof windows into existing pitched roofs, repair and reflash windows that have started letting water in, and specify the right windows for loft conversion projects. Every installation is flashed to suit your specific tile or slate profile, because that's the detail that determines whether it stays watertight for years or causes problems within a season. Give us a call on 07566 234868 to talk through what would work for your roof.

Roofing Projects

New Velux Installation We fit roof windows into an existing pitched roof, correctly flashed for your specific tile or slate profile. Positioning is planned around your rafters and the room below, so the finished window sits properly and lets in the light you're after.

Leak & Seal Repairs We diagnose and fix leaks around existing roof windows, which are usually caused by failed flashing or perished seals rather than the window unit itself. Where possible we repair rather than replace, keeping costs down.

Loft Conversion Windows We specify and fit the right roof windows as part of a wider loft conversion project, working alongside your builder or architect to make sure sizing, position and building regulations are all covered.

Our Process

How we approach a Velux installation or repair, from survey to weathertight finish.

Survey

We check the roof structure and rafter spacing to confirm the right window size and position.

2

Ordering

The correct Velux window and flashing kit are ordered for your specific tile or slate type.

3

Installation

The window is fitted and flashed correctly, with internal and external finishing completed neatly.

4

Weather Check

A final check confirms the window and flashing are fully weathertight before we finish up.

Do I need planning permission for a Velux window?

Most roof windows fall under permitted development, though conservation areas, listed buildings and front roof slopes can differ - we'll advise on your specific property.

Why is my Velux window leaking?

The most common cause is a failed or incorrectly fitted flashing kit rather than the window itself - this is usually straightforward to put right.

How long does installation take?

A single roof window typically takes one day to fit, including internal finishing.

Most pitched roofs are suitable, though the rafter spacing and roof pitch need checking first - we'll confirm this during a survey before ordering.
