FAQ
Velux Window Replacement and Repairs: common questions
Why is my Velux window leaking?
Most leaks are in the flashing around the window, or from debris blocking the channels at the sides, not the window itself. We check both.
Do I need planning permission for a roof window?
Often not, but it depends on the property and which way the window faces. Check with the council before work starts, particularly in a conservation area or a flat.
How much will it cost?
It depends on the roof, the access and what we find. We inspect for free and give you a fixed written price before any work starts.
Do you charge for the quote?
No. Inspections and written quotes are free, with no obligation.
