Roof Window Installation — Gateshead

Roof windows go wrong for the same three reasons every time in Gateshead: wrong flashing kit for the tile profile, upstand too short, or the frame set into a rotten batten. Our fit corrects all three at once. We're regularly on roofs close to the A1 western bypass, out around Team Valley Trading Estate, through Low Fell and Felling.

  • 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

Access & scaffold in Gateshead

We work off the A1 western bypass corridor daily. Single-storey lofts usually need a tower; two-storey needs a small scaffold — included in the quote, no surprise add-ons. Gateshead lofts vary — some have 4x2 rafters at 400 centres, some 6x2 at 600. That decides whether you can drop a window straight in or need a trimmer, and we work that out before we quote.

Choosing the right window for a Gateshead roof

Centre-pivot suits standard 15–90° pitches; top-hung is better if you want to lean out or use the window as a fire escape. For rooms below eye level a lower-position window makes the difference between a light room and a "sky-only" view. Hilly streets of Edwardian terraces in Low Fell and Bensham, post-war semis through Wrekenton, and a growing belt of new-build estates around Dunston and Team Valley.

Velux installation in Gateshead — 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 Gateshead?+

Yes — NE8 – NE11 in full, plus Newcastle, Birtley.
