Velux & Skylight Installation
Roof window and skylight installation, correctly flashed into the roof covering to bring natural light into a loft or attic room.
About Our Velux & Skylight Installation Service
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.
