VELUX and Other Roof Window Fitting in Southwell, Notts
Roof windows can turn a dark loft in an older Southwell house into usable space, and a roof light in a flat roof can brighten a back extension. Done well, they add daylight without changing the look of the building from the street. Done badly, they leak, and the result is a stained ceiling and wet insulation.
We should be clear about one thing at the start: Evans Roofing is an independent contractor and is not VELUX-approved. We supply and fit roof windows, VELUX and other makes, in Southwell, Newark-on-Trent, Calverton, Gedling and the areas around them.
Fitting into an existing roof
A window installed in an existing roof involves cutting through the covering, adding support to the timbers and fitting a flashing kit that matches the tile or slate. On a character home, careful cutting and neat tiling or slating around the opening keep the roof looking tidy. Inside the loft, the opening is lined and finished so that the window works as a proper part of the room.
Replacement of older units is possible where suitable products and sizes are available, and we also investigate leaks around existing windows, which often turn out to be flashing or surrounding tile problems rather than faults in the window itself. That means a leaking window does not always need replacing.

Is your loft suitable?
Headroom, rafter spacing and the roof structure decide what is possible. Converting a loft or adding windows may need building regulations approval, so check with your local council before committing.
Send us photos of the loft and the roof by WhatsApp, or call, and we can talk through the options and quote. A photo of the underside of the roof, showing the rafters, tells us a lot.

VELUX Roof Windows in Southwell: common questions
Are you VELUX-approved?
No. We are an independent contractor and are not VELUX-approved, but we supply and fit roof windows including VELUX and other makes, so you can compare what is available for your roof opening and budget.
Will a roof window affect the appearance of my house?
It changes the roof slightly, but a well-chosen size and position, with neat slating or tiling around it, keeps the effect modest. Roofs that face the street are worth thinking about most carefully, and we are happy to talk that through. We can talk through placement before anything is ordered.
