Roof Window Installation — Tynemouth

Roof windows go wrong for the same three reasons every time in Tynemouth: 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 A1058 Coast Road, through Cullercoats and Preston Village.

Choosing the right window for a Tynemouth 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. Heritage stone villas around the Priory, period terraces along Front Street, and detached coastal homes overlooking Longsands. Heritage stone villas around the Priory, period terraces along Front Street, and detached coastal homes overlooking Longsands. 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 Tynemouth — 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 Tynemouth?+

Yes — NE30 in full, plus Whitley Bay, North Shields.
