Chester-le-Street Velux & Roof Window Fitters

Most Chester-le-Street loft conversions gain their light from one or two roof windows. Getting them square in the roof plane, at the right height for a person to see out of, and sealed against wind-driven rain is the difference between "a nice loft" and a room you'll actually use. We're regularly on roofs close to the A1(M), through Pelton and Sacriston-edge.

  • Correct flashing kit for your exact tile or slate profile
  • Full lead upstand or GRP soaker where the roof geometry needs it
  • Rafters trimmed properly with load-bearing trimmers, not just cuts
  • Internal reveal boarded, taped and ready for skim
  • One-day fit on most single-window jobs; two days for triple installs
  • Manufacturer 10-year Velux warranty on the unit

Flashing kits explained

EDW for interlocking tiles, EDN for slate or thin profiles, EDJ for recessed installs. The kit is not optional — using the wrong one voids the manufacturer warranty and is the single most common reason we get called back to fix somebody else's job. Wetter than the coastal towns — guttering and valley clearance is a much bigger source of leaks here than wind damage. We still uprate fixings on exposed elevations.

Access & scaffold in Chester-le-Street

We work off the A1(M) corridor daily. Single-storey lofts usually need a tower; two-storey needs a small scaffold — included in the quote, no surprise add-ons.

Velux installation in Chester-le-Street — FAQs

How long does a Velux install take?+

Single window in an existing rafter bay: one day. Add a trimmer or fit two side-by-side: two days. Triple bank: three days including internal reveal.

Do you handle the internal plastering?+

We board and tape the reveal so it's ready to skim. Our plasterer can quote for the skim if you want a single supplier, or your own decorator can pick it up.

Will it leak?+

Not if the flashing kit matches the tile profile and the upstand is dressed properly. We pressure-hose test every install before we sign off — you'll see us do it.

Do you install across all of Chester-le-Street?+

Yes — DH2 – DH3 in full, plus Birtley, Washington, Houghton.
