Roof Window Installation and Repair in Harworth
Many family homes in Harworth have a loft that could become a bedroom, a study or a bright storage space, and a roof window is usually the first thing that makes the idea work. Others already have one that leaks, mists up between the panes or is simply past its working life, and replacing it is a smaller job than most people expect.
Evans Roofing is an independent contractor and is not VELUX-approved. We supply and fit roof windows, including VELUX and other makes, and we do not claim any manufacturer approval.
New windows and replacements
Fitting a roof window means opening up the roof, cutting rafters in some cases and trimming the opening so it is properly supported, so the rafters, the covering and the flashing details all matter. The window has to suit the structure and the product requirements, including the roof pitch and the size of opening that can sensibly be made, and some projects may need building regulations approval, so check with your local council.
Replacing an older unit can be simpler, provided a suitable window in the right dimensions is available. The surrounding flashing is usually renewed at the same time, since reusing an old one is how leaks start. Family-sized homes often have a loft room with a window that has been there for a while, and it is worth knowing whether it was fitted with the right flashing kit for the tiles.
- New roof windows installed in suitable pitched roofs
- Older units replaced where products and dimensions allow
- Flashings fitted to suit the roof covering
- Rooflights for flat roofs
- Maintenance checks on window surrounds and nearby tiles
Leaks around roof windows
A leaking roof window is not always a faulty window. The cause may be the flashing, the tiles around it or the way it was fitted, and the first job is working out which. Condensation on the glass, damp on the lining and a drip from the corner can look similar from inside but have different causes. A roof window in a flat roof or a rooflight over a landing needs the same questions asked.
If you are considering a loft window or have one that drips, send photos by call or WhatsApp to Evans Roofing, with a note of the room it serves. We can then suggest the next step and quote.

VELUX Roof Windows in Harworth: common questions
Are you VELUX-approved installers?
No. Evans Roofing is an independent contractor. We supply and fit roof windows, including VELUX and other makes, without any manufacturer approval.
Can a roof window go into any roof?
Not always. The structure, pitch and covering all have to suit the product, so we would need to see the roof and the loft space before confirming it is possible.
