Roof Windows in Carlton: Loft and Bungalow Installations

Evans Roofing Services supplies and fits roof windows, including VELUX and other makes. The business is an independent contractor and is not VELUX-approved. The make is your choice, and the fitting is carried out to the maker's instructions.

Fitting a window to a roof

Before any opening is cut, the rafter layout, loft height and covering are looked at. The window is then set in, with the correct flashing for the tile type and the surrounding roof made good. Bungalows in particular have roof space that a window can transform, though the roof structure and any insulation need to be considered first.

Where flat roofs or extensions need daylight, rooflight systems suit them, and a window can replace an older unit when a suitable product and size are available. Insulation, ventilation and the route of any wiring or pipework in the loft are also worth thinking about before a window is chosen.

Approvals and leaks

Roof window and loft conversion work may need building regulations approval, so check with your local council before committing. Older units sometimes fail at the seals or hinges, and if a suitable replacement is available, it may be simpler than reworking the whole opening.

If an existing window leaks, the flashing, the tiles and the installation around it are checked first. Call or WhatsApp with photos of the window and the roof outside to discuss it. A periodic look at the surround and neighbouring tiles catches small flashing problems before water gets in.
