Velux installation in Houghton — 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 Houghton?+
Yes — DH4 – DH5 in full, plus Sunderland, Hetton, Chester-le-Street.
