Bring natural light into your home with professionally installed skylights and roof windows. We supply and fit Velux and other leading brands, ensuring perfect weatherproofing and insulation. Transform dark rooms into bright, inviting spaces.
A roof window transforms a dark loft, landing or extension, and a well-fitted one is completely watertight and barely thought about for years. The single most important thing about a roof window is not the window itself but the flashing around it. Velux and the other leading brands supply flashing kits made specifically for the covering they sit in — one kit for plain tiles, another for low-profile interlocking tiles, another for slate — and using the right kit, fitted correctly, is the difference between a window that never leaks and one that drips every time it rains. Almost every leaking roof window we are called to is a flashing problem, not a faulty window.
We supply and fit Velux and equivalent roof windows, replace tired or misted units, and sort out leaks on windows other people have fitted badly. The right approach depends on the roof: an in-pitch window sits flush in the plane of a tiled or slate roof and is the usual choice for lofts and rooms in the roof, while on a flat roof you need an upstand-mounted rooflight kerbed up off the deck so water cannot sit against it. Whatever the type, we get the flashing and the weatherproofing right first, because that is what makes a rooflight last.
| Option | Pros | Cons | Typical lifespan |
|---|---|---|---|
| In-pitch roof window | Sits flush in tiled or slate roofs; clean look; lots of light | Needs a pitched roof of suitable angle | 20+ years for the unit |
| Flat-roof rooflight (upstand) | Brings light into flat-roof rooms; kerbed clear of standing water | Needs a kerb/upstand built up off the deck | 20+ years for the unit |
| Sun tunnel | Daylight into windowless spaces; minimal disruption | Light only, no view or opening | 20+ years |
Supply and installation of a roof window typically ranges from around £800–£1,500 depending on the size and type of window and how easily we can reach the roof. Replacing an existing unit or adding a sun tunnel can be less. Every quote is free and no-obligation, and includes the correct flashing kit and weatherproofing — not just the window.
Usually not, as roof windows fall under permitted development. However, there are limits on size and position. Listed buildings and conservation areas may have restrictions.
Supply and installation typically ranges from £800-£1,500 depending on window size and type. We provide free quotes including all materials and labour.
Most roofs can accommodate skylights, but suitability depends on roof structure, pitch, and construction. We assess your roof and advise on the best options.
A single Velux window typically takes one day to install, including cutting the opening, fitting the window, and weatherproofing. Multiple windows take proportionally longer.
Properly installed skylights with correct flashing don't leak. Leaks usually occur from poor installation or aged seals. We use manufacturer-approved flashing kits.
