Loft and Roof Window Installers in Gedling, VELUX and Others

Evans Roofing Services is an independent contractor and is not VELUX-approved. We supply and fit roof windows in Gedling, including VELUX and other makes, and we also install rooflights in flat roofs. Flat roof rooflights are also worth considering for single-storey extensions and kitchens at the back of a house, where a wall of glass is not an option.

What roof window work involves

Fitting a window into an existing roof means opening up the covering, trimming the rafters where needed and forming a sound frame, then flashing the unit into the surrounding tiles. A replacement of an older window follows a similar process where the new unit fits the opening.

Leaks around roof windows are often blamed on the glass, though flashings and the tiles around the frame are frequent culprits. Insulation around the opening and a clear route for ventilation are part of the same job, not an afterthought.

• New roof windows in suitable pitched roofs
• Replacement of older units
• Flashing kits matched to the roof covering
• Repairs to leaking windows and surrounds
• Rooflights for flat roof extensions
• Regular checks on surrounds

Before you decide

A loft conversion or a new opening can need planning permission or building regulations approval, so check with your local council before committing. The state of the roof around the window matters too, since there is little sense in fitting a new unit into a tired covering.
