Roof Window and Roof Light Services We Provide

We work with a range of roof window and roof light installations, tailored to the type of roof and the space below
01
Roof Window Installation
Roof windows are commonly fitted in loft conversions and upper-floor rooms where ventilation and access are important. We install roof windows to suit the pitch and structure of the roof, ensuring they open smoothly and are properly sealed against the elements.
02
Roof Light Installation
Roof lights are a popular option where natural light is the main goal. They sit flush or low-profile within the roof and are ideal for flat roofs, extensions and modern living spaces. We install roof lights with suitable flashing systems to prevent leaks and drafts.
03
Dormer Window Integration
Where dormer structures are involved, we ensure roof windows are integrated correctly with the surrounding roof covering. This includes careful detailing around junctions to maintain weather protection and a clean finish

Benefits of Roof Windows and Roof Lights

Installing roof windows or roof lights offers several practical advantages beyond just improved lighting. These include:

Increased natural daylight

Better ventilation

Brighter, more usable living spaces

Reduced reliance on artificial lighting

Improved overall feel of the room

Suitable Roof Types for Installation

Not every roof is the same, and suitability depends on structure, pitch and covering type. Roof windows and roof lights can typically be installed on:
Pitched roofs with slate or tile
Flat roofs using appropriate upstand systems
Extensions and loft conversions
During an inspection, we’ll confirm what’s possible and explain any limitations before work begins

Weatherproofing and Insulation

Correct weatherproofing is essential when installing roof windows or roof lights. Poor installation is one of the most common causes of leaks in this area. We take care to ensure:
01
Flashing systems are fitted correctly
02
Seals are watertight
03
Insulation around the opening is properly installed
04
The surrounding roof covering is reinstated correctly
This helps prevent future leaks, heat loss and condensation issues

Installation Process and Timescales

Most roof window and roof light installations can be completed within a day, depending on the complexity of the job and roof type. The process typically includes:
01
Free inspection and assessment
02
Advice on suitable products and positioning
