Is Velux & Roof Window Installation the Right Fix?

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 Romsey roof. Romsey’s housing and setting mean some faults show up here more than elsewhere.

Be honest with yourself: 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.

"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

The process

How a Romsey Velux & Roof Window Installation Job Runs

1. Free survey

We check each slope from a ladder and inspect the loft for the tell-tale signs, tracing the fault to its origin. Because we work across Romsey regularly, we know how access on streets like The Hundred affects the job.

2. Written quote

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

3. Scheduling

Booking is usually within the week, and we run a 24/7 line for genuine 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

Afterwards, 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 Romsey we confirm the likely duration on the survey, once we have seen the access and the roof.

Access

Getting Safely onto Romsey 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.

Romsey’s historic market-town centre around The Hundred has conservation constraints and tight access; outlying estates are more open. Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through Test Valley Borough Council; allow a few working days on streets like The Hundred, Church 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

Living Around the Work

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. The Test valley brings riverside humidity and heavy autumn leaf fall from mature trees.

FAQ

Velux Window Installation Romsey — Questions

Supply and installation of a standard CK02 Velux (550×780mm) in Romsey: £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 Romsey 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 Romsey property. Most Romsey Victorian and post-war 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 Romsey 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 Romsey 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 and post-war tiles typical in Romsey. 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 Romsey, 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 Romsey 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 Romsey installation.
