VELUX and Roof Window Fitting in Radcliffe-on-Trent
The larger period and inter-war houses of Radcliffe-on-Trent often have roof space that could do more. A roof window brings daylight into a loft room, and a rooflight on a flat extension roof can brighten a kitchen that has few other windows.
Evans Roofing Services is an independent contractor and is not VELUX-approved. From Beckingham, we supply and fit roof windows, including VELUX and other makes, in suitable roofs around Radcliffe-on-Trent and the villages near it. Because many houses here have been altered before, we check what is already in the roof space.
Fitting to older and newer roofs
A slate or clay-tile roof needs flashings that match the covering, and the rafters have to suit the opening. Newer estates usually have roofs with standard rafter spacing, which can make sizing easier, though loft height still matters. Finding where the existing framing and any past alterations sit helps us avoid surprises when the opening is cut.
Building regulations approval may be needed for roof windows and loft conversions, so check with your local council before you plan the work.

Dealing with a leaking window
Leaks usually come from the flashing, tiles near the frame or an installation detail, though a worn unit can be at fault. We establish the cause so the repair or replacement actually stops the water. Replacing a window in a good surround is often quicker than starting from scratch.
Call or WhatsApp Evans Roofing with photos of the roof, the loft and the window, and we will discuss suitable options and quote. Roof windows in flat roofs are a separate case, with their own upstand and weathering details.
