Velux Roof Window Installation in Peterlee

A Velux window is only as good as the flashing kit around it — and that's where most Peterlee installs fail within five winters. We fit the correct kit for the covering (slate, plain tile, interlocking tile or profiled), dress the lead upstand properly and pressure-test the flashing before we sign off. We're regularly on roofs close to the A19, out around NETPark, through Horden and Easington Colliery.

  • 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. Coastal Durham — strong easterly storms periodically lift tiles on older streets, particularly in Horden and Blackhall. We still uprate fixings on exposed elevations.

Access & scaffold in Peterlee

We work off the A19 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 Peterlee — 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 Peterlee?+

Yes — SR8 in full, plus Seaham, Murton, Hetton.
