Velux & Skylight Installation in Totton
Totton customers looking for velux & skylight installation turn to Hampshire Roofing. A roof window brings genuine natural light into a loft space, but the installation is only as good as the flashing kit around it — the roof covering has to be cut back precisely to the window's dimensions and a purpose-made flashing kit dressed in around all four sides to tie into the surrounding tiles or slates without creating a new leak point. The right flashing kit depends on the roof covering (tile, slate or a flat/low-pitch application each use different kits) and the pitch of the roof. Roof windows are also relevant to loft conversions, where building regulations around fire safety and means of escape may apply depending on the intended use of the space — something we flag rather than assume, since it depends on the specific project. Totton's largely 20th-century housing stock sits on the western edge of Southampton Water, and where the town meets the water around Eling and Marchwood, wind-driven rain and salt air off the estuary become a genuine consideration for flashing and ridge fixings — a marked difference from the more sheltered estate roads further from the waterfront.
