How to Tell You Need Velux & Roof Window Installation

A roof window transforms a loft, but the flashing detail decides whether it stays watertight. Here is what to consider before fitting one on a Compton roof. Compton’s housing and setting mean some faults show up here more than elsewhere.

When it is not needed: If the loft is not being converted to a habitable room, a cheaper fixed rooflight may serve — you do not always need a full opening Velux. Read the full guide.

Customer Reviews

What Customers Say

★★★★★

"Fitted two Velux windows in our 1930s Chandler's Ford semi. Used the correct clay tile flashing kit — no issues with the first winter. Very pleased."

Rachel P. · Chandler's Ford
★★★★★

"Professional survey confirmed the size and planning position before anything was ordered. Fitted neatly, tiles relaid perfectly. Excellent job."

David M. · Weeke, Winchester
★★★★★

"Used them after another firm gave a vague quote. These guys specified the exact flashing kit and the window has been completely watertight through two winters."

The process

From First Call to Sign-Off in Compton

1. Free survey

We inspect every elevation from a ladder, check the loft for felt condition and daylight, and trace the true water path. Because we work across Compton regularly, we know how access on streets like Place Lane affects the job.

2. Written quote

To finish, fixed price including the tile-specific flashing kit, within 48 hours.

3. Scheduling

We agree a firm date — usually within the week, and same-day for emergencies.

4. The work

On the day, opening formed and trimmed, window fitted with the manufacturer flashing kit matched to your exact tile, tiles redressed both sides.

5. Cleanup & sign-off

On completion, debris cleared, manufacturer and workmanship guarantees handed over.

Timescales

How Long Does It Take?

JobTypical duration
Single Velux (like-for-like)1 day
New opening + structural trim1–2 days
Two windows2 days

The roof is opened only as far as can be made watertight the same day; weather is watched closely. In Compton we confirm the likely duration on the survey, once we have seen the access and the roof.

Access

Getting Safely onto Compton Roofs

Roof-window work runs from a tower or scaffold for safe working at the opening. Scaffold is specified for: most installations — safe standing time at the opening is essential - always itemised in your written quote, never a hidden extra, and we arrange it.

Compton is a small downland village of period and modern homes on lanes where scaffold access needs planning but pavements are rarely an issue. Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through Winchester City Council; allow a few working days on streets like Place Lane, Compton Street where space is tight.

Guarantee

The Guarantee in Plain Terms

The installation and flashing carry a 10-year workmanship guarantee; the window carries the manufacturer warranty (typically 10–20 years).

If a fault appears in covered work, we come back and put it right. No quibbling, no re-charge.

Good to know

Disruption, Mess & Weather in Compton

A day or two of work with brief internal access to the loft; dust sheeting protects the room below the opening. You do not need to stay home for external work — just power and access agreed in advance.

We form the opening in a dry window and never leave the roof open overnight. Exposed chalk-down position brings wind exposure on ridges and verges.

FAQ

Velux Window Installation Compton — Questions

Supply and installation of a standard CK02 Velux (550×780mm) in Compton: £600–£950. FK06 (660×1180mm): £700–£1,100. Conservation-grade models cost 20–40% more. Free survey and written quote — call 01962 809171.

Rear slope Velux windows within permitted development limits do not require planning permission on most Compton properties. Principal elevation (street-facing) windows and any Velux on listed buildings require consent. We confirm the planning position at the free survey visit.

The correct Velux size depends on your rafter spacing, the available roof height between eaves and ridge, and what the window is for. We survey and recommend the appropriate size for your specific Compton property. Most Compton Victorian farmhouse and infill properties suit CK02 or FK06 as the primary size.

A single Velux on an accessible pitch: 3–5 hours. Two windows same day on most Compton properties. Where structural trimming is required (opening spanning more than one rafter), allow 1–2 hours additional.

Incorrect flashing is the most common cause of Velux leaks. We always use the manufacturer-specified tile flashing kit for the specific tile profile on your Compton property — not a generic kit. This is the single most important quality variable in Velux installation.

Yes — Velux supplies tile-specific flashing kits for all common tile profiles including the Victorian farmhouse and infill tiles typical in Compton. We confirm the correct kit at survey stage before ordering.

Yes — where the Velux opening requires a structural trimming header, we carry out this work as part of the installation. The structural requirement is confirmed at survey and included in the written quote.

For habitable room loft conversions in Compton, building regulations require minimum window area (1/20th of floor area) and Part L thermal performance compliance. For non-habitable loft windows, building regulations do not typically apply. We confirm the specific requirements for your Compton project at survey.

Modern Velux GGL and GGU windows pivot 180° for external glass cleaning from inside. This is the correct method — we do not recommend accessing the tile surface around the window for cleaning.

Velux manufacturer warranty: 10 years on the window and 20 years on glazing. Our workmanship guarantee covers the installation including flashing and tile redress for 10 years. Both warranties apply to your Compton installation.
