Killingworth Velux & Roof Window Fitters

Most Killingworth 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 A19, out around Killingworth retail park, through West Moor and Forest Hall.

Choosing the right window for a Killingworth 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. Planned 1960s–1970s housing across the centre, with newer estate-builds nearby. Planned 1960s–1970s housing across the centre, with newer estate-builds nearby. The tile or slate profile determines the flashing kit, and getting it wrong is what causes the classic drip that shows up months later on the plasterboard reveal.

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.

Velux installation in Killingworth — 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 Killingworth?+

Yes — NE12 in full, plus Newcastle, Wallsend, Cramlington.
