Roof Window Installation in Cotgrave: VELUX and Others
With bungalows and family houses making up a good part of Cotgrave, loft space that currently holds boxes is a common wish. A roof window brings in daylight and, if the structure allows, can turn a dark roof space into somewhere you might actually use. It helps to think first about the size of window, the headroom and whether the room will have a proper use.
Evans Roofing Services is an independent roofing contractor and is not VELUX-approved. We supply and fit roof windows, including VELUX and other makes, in suitable pitched roofs around Cotgrave and nearby villages, from our base in Beckingham.
What is involved
A roof window is not simply a hole in the tiles. The rafters, the covering and the flashing kit all have to work together, so we check the roof structure before agreeing a position and size. On a bungalow, a window is usually fitted between existing rafters, which keeps the structural changes modest where the roof allows.
Building regulations approval may be needed for roof windows and loft conversions, so check with your local council before you commit to a plan.
- New roof window installation in suitable pitched roofs
- Replacement of older units where suitable sizes are available
- Flashings matched to the roof covering
- Rooflights for flat roofs
- Repairs to leaking windows and surrounds
Replacing or fixing an existing window
Older roof windows can leak because of failed flashings, disturbed tiles around the frame or a worn unit. We investigate which it is before suggesting a repair or a replacement, since the cheapest-looking answer is not always the right one. A slipped tile or failed flashing above the frame can look like a faulty window when the fault is in the surrounding roof.
To get started, call or WhatsApp Evans Roofing with photos of the roof and the loft, plus the size of any existing window, and we will discuss what looks suitable.

VELUX Roof Windows in Cotgrave: common questions
Are you VELUX-approved installers?
No. We are an independent contractor and do not claim any manufacturer approval. We supply and fit roof windows, including VELUX and other makes, and fit them to suit the roof.
Can a bungalow loft in Cotgrave take a roof window?
Often it can, but it depends on the roof structure and the covering. We check the rafters and the roof first so the opening is done properly and stays weathertight. A loft that is cold and bare today may suit a window and a room with the right insulation, though that is a conversation for the site visit.
