Roof Window Installation in Arnold: Lofts and Bungalows
A bungalow roof with plenty of height inside, or a 1930s semi with an unused attic, can often take a roof window and make a very different room. Arnold has many houses like this, and daylight from above is a common wish when families want more usable space without building outwards. Whether the roof is tiled or slated, the window needs to be sealed into the covering with the right flashing.
Evans Roofing is an independent contractor and is not VELUX-approved. It supplies and fits roof windows, VELUX and other makes, from its base in Beckingham across Arnold, Gedling, Bulwell, Nottingham and Calverton. Each job starts by checking that the roof structure and covering can accept the opening.
Fitting a window to the roof you have
The position is planned around the rafters, pitch and covering. The opening is formed, the frame fitted and flashing matched to your tiles, so the window is weathertight along every edge. Headroom, access and insulation are considered too, since a window alone does not make a room usable. Loft rooms in bungalows often have more headroom than people expect.
Replacement of older units is possible where suitable products and dimensions exist. The make and size can be agreed beforehand. Flat roof windows suit extensions and garages where the structure allows.

Flat roofs, leaks and regulations
Extensions and garages with flat roofs can take suitable rooflights, which bring light into spaces that would otherwise rely on side windows. Existing windows that leak are checked at the flashing, the surrounding tiles and the installation before any decision is made. Windows installed some years ago may simply need new flashing or sealing to stop a leak.
Altering a roof or converting a loft may need building regulations approval, so check locally. For a quote, call or WhatsApp with photos of the roof and the room.

VELUX Roof Windows in Arnold: common questions
Is a roof window the same as a dormer?
A roof window sits in the plane of the roof, while a dormer projects out and is a larger structural project. Planning or building rules may apply to either, so check with your local council.
Are you VELUX-approved?
No, Evans Roofing is an independent contractor and not VELUX-approved. It does fit VELUX and other makes, so you can ask about the choice when you get in touch.
