Roof Windows & Skylights

Planning Your Roof Window or Skylight

A roof window needs to work for the room below and the roof around it. We consider its position, the opening, supports, flashing and surrounding covering together. We'll also make clear what internal finishing is included or needs arranging separately.

01

A New Roof Opening

If you're adding a new window, tell us where you'd like it and how the room is used. The roof structure, opening and any approvals need checking, along with the work needed inside the room.

02

Replace an Existing Window

For a replacement window, we look at the existing opening, roof covering and flashing. We'll explain what needs renewing around the unit and whether any internal making good is included.

03

Investigate a Window-Area Leak

A leak near a roof window may come from the unit, flashing or surrounding roof. Tell us when it happens and about any earlier repairs so we can investigate before recommending a repair or replacement.

What Matters Most

Plan the Window and the Roof Together

Tell us about your roof, what's prompted you to get in touch and what you'd like to achieve. We can then talk through the work that may be needed.

1. Think About the Room Below

We can discuss roof windows and skylights for suitable lofts, extensions and converted spaces. Tell us what you'd like to improve, whether it's daylight, ventilation or an existing window.

2. We Plan the Installation Details

The flashing and surrounding roof covering need to suit the window. We consider these details as part of the installation, alongside the unit itself.

3. Include Any Other Roofing Work

If you're having roof repairs or a replacement, let us know you'd like to include a window. We can discuss a new opening, replacing an existing unit or investigating a leak at the same time.

4. Tell Us Your Plans

Send your postcode, roof type and a few safe photos, with a description of what you have in mind. We can then discuss the checks needed and what the work would include.

Your Questions Answered

Your Roof Window and Skylight Questions

Answers to common questions about our work.

Have something else you'd like to ask? Tell us about your property and we'll talk it through with you.

Do You Install VELUX Roof Windows?

We can discuss VELUX roof windows for suitable roofs. The product, size and flashing need to suit your property, and we'll confirm what's included in the installation and the applicable warranty terms.

Can a Window Be Added to an Existing Roof?

It may be possible. The roof structure, position, covering and any relevant requirements need checking first. Adding a new opening involves different work from replacing a window that's already there.

Are Roof Windows and Flat-Roof Rooflights Interchangeable?

No. The window or rooflight needs to be designed for your roof type and pitch. We'll discuss the correct product and the flashing or raised base it needs for the installation.

Will the Quote Include Flashing?

We'll explain the flashing and other weatherproofing included in the installation quote. These need to suit both the window and your roof covering, so the unit price alone isn't the full cost of the work.

Can You Help with a Leak Around a Roof Window?

Yes. Tell us where the water appears, when it started and about any earlier repairs. We can look into the window, its flashing and the surrounding roof covering. Safe photos are useful too.

Is Internal Plastering or Decorating Included?

Only where we've specifically agreed to include it. We'll make clear what internal lining, plastering, decorating or electrical work needs to be arranged before the project starts.

Do I Need Permission for a Roof Window?

That needs checking for your property and the proposed window. Planning and building-control requirements are separate, and restrictions or changes to the roof structure may affect what's needed. Confirm these before work begins.

Can Roof Windows Be Installed During Re-Roofing?

Yes, where the roof is suitable. Mention the windows early so we can plan the openings, units and weatherproofing with the new covering, and agree any internal work.
