Roof Windows and Rooflights for Ollerton Lofts and Extensions
Many Ollerton bungalows have loft space that is under-used because it is dark and cramped. Roof windows can change that, and larger detached homes with generous roofs have plenty of scope for light where it is needed. A loft that suits a window can become a study, a bedroom or simply a brighter store.
Evans Roofing is an independent contractor and is not VELUX-approved. We supply and fit roof windows, VELUX and other makes, in Ollerton, Warsop, Southwell and the villages nearby, and we deal with leaks around ones already fitted. A window that was fitted without enough care can leak for years before anyone traces it.
What the work involves
A roof window means making an opening in the roof, supporting the timbers around it, and fitting flashings that work with the tile or slate. In a bungalow, the slope is often long and shallow, which affects both product choice and fitting details. The covering matters too, as the flashing kit has to suit whether the roof is tiled or slated.
For flat-roofed extensions, a rooflight can bring daylight into a room with no side windows. Replacement of older units is possible where suitable products and dimensions exist. Measuring the existing opening, or sending a photo of the label, helps us find a suitable replacement.

Suitability and approvals
Whether a loft can take a window depends on the rafters, headroom and roof structure. Roof window work may need building regulations approval, so check with your local council.
Send photos of the loft and roof by WhatsApp or call, and we can discuss what might work. Headroom measured from the floor to the ridge is useful to know. If the loft is already boarded or insulated, mention that as well. Headroom measured from the floor to the ridge is useful to know.

VELUX Roof Windows in Ollerton: common questions
Are you VELUX-approved fitters?
No, we are an independent contractor and not VELUX-approved. We supply and fit VELUX and other makes of roof window.
Why is my roof window leaking?
Leaks often come from flashing, surrounding tiles or installation details instead of the window glass. Finding the exact cause is the first step, and sometimes a repair solves it without replacing the unit. Water stains around the frame, condensation between the panes and loose flashing are all worth describing when you call. Wet insulation near the frame is another clue worth mentioning.
