Why a roofer should fit your roof window
A roof window is a hole cut in the one thing keeping your house dry. The window unit itself is rarely the problem — almost every leaking roof window we get called to was let down by the weathering around it: the wrong flashing kit, tiles cut short, or felt that was never lapped back in properly. Because the fitting is done by working roofers, the weathering is the priority rather than an afterthought. The roof is opened carefully, the window goes in with the correct kit for the covering, and everything around it is put back so water runs over, not in.
What a proper fitting looks like
- 1Survey and sizing — the right window for the room, the pitch and the rafter spacing, agreed before anything is ordered.
- 2Roof opened — slates or tiles lifted back well beyond the opening so the new work laps in correctly.
- 3Window fitted — manufacturer's own flashing kit for your covering, underlay dressed back in around the frame.
- 4Made good inside and out — surrounding covering reinstated, and the internal opening trimmed out tidily.
Where roof windows earn their keep
Loft rooms and conversions are the obvious ones — daylight and ventilation without the cost of a dormer — but roof windows transform stairwells, landings and single-storey extensions too. If you are already having a replacement solid roof on a conservatory, it is the natural moment to build one in: you keep the warmth of the insulated roof and put back the overhead light you lose from the old glass or polycarbonate. And if you are having a roof re-covered anyway, adding a window while the covering is off is far cheaper than retrofitting one later.
What to expect on the day
A single window is normally a one-day job, and everything that could slow the day down — access, scaffold, the exact position of the opening — is agreed at the quoting stage rather than discovered on the morning. Your price comes in writing and itemised: the window unit, its flashing kit, reinstating the covering around it and the internal trim, each shown separately.
Velux window FAQs
How long does a Velux installation take?+
A single window is normally a one-day job. We agree access and any scaffold at the quoting stage, so fitting day runs to plan with no surprises.
Can you fit a roof window into a slate roof?+
Yes. Every window goes in with the flashing kit the manufacturer makes for that specific covering — slate included — and the slates around it are reinstated properly, lapped back in the way they came off.
Do you supply the window or just fit it?+
Both — we supply and fit. We will talk through the size and glazing options when we survey, and the window itself is itemised on your written quote.
Can a roof window go into a solid conservatory roof?+
Yes — Velux-style roof windows can be built into a replacement solid conservatory roof where the extra daylight is useful, alongside a plastered internal ceiling.
