Roof Windows in Hucknall: Supply and Fitting of VELUX and Others
Loft rooms are popular across Hucknall's post-war and newer estate houses, and a roof window is a simple way to make a dim attic feel like a usable room. Daylight from above also helps where a gable window is not an option. The size of window that fits depends on the rafter spacing, which is something we measure before anything is ordered.
We are an independent roofing contractor and are not VELUX-approved. We supply and fit roof windows, including VELUX and other makes, in suitable pitched roofs, and rooflights for flat roofs where the structure suits. We can also advise on whether a rooflight is suitable for a flat roof section, such as an extension or garage.
Fitting into modern tile roofs
Concrete tile roofs are common here, and a window needs a flashing kit matched to the tile profile. The opening also has to respect the rafters and the structure behind it, which is why we look at the loft before saying whether a given size will fit. Headroom and the position of any stairs inside affect where a window is most useful, so it is worth thinking about this when picking its location.
Roof window work may need building regulations approval, so check with your local council before ordering.

- Flashing matched to the roof covering
- Loft and attic windows for daylight
- Rooflights for flat roofs
Dealing with a leaking window
A window that drips is not always faulty. The flashing, the tiles around it or the original installation can all be at fault, and we check each before suggesting a fix. Regular checks of the flashing and surrounding tiles keep a roof window weathertight, and we can look at those as part of maintenance.
For a new window or a repair, call or WhatsApp with photos of the roof and loft and we will talk it over and quote.

VELUX Roof Windows in Hucknall: common questions
Do you only fit VELUX windows?
No, we are an independent contractor, not VELUX-approved, and fit VELUX and other makes of roof window. We would help you choose a unit that suits the opening. A new unit should be matched to the opening and the roof covering, whichever brand you choose.
Can a window go in above a shallow-pitched section?
It depends on the pitch and the product, since roof windows have minimum pitch requirements. We would check this before agreeing to the work. If the pitch is too low, a different product or a rooflight may be needed, and we would explain the alternatives.
