Loft Roof Windows in West Bridgford: Supply and Fitting
Loft-room windows are something we are often asked about in West Bridgford, where larger Edwardian houses and inter-war semis have roof space that can be turned into bedrooms, studies or playrooms. A roof window gives light and a bit of ventilation without altering the street face of the house. A common request is to replace an older window whose seals or flashing have given up.
We are an independent contractor and are not VELUX-approved. We supply and fit roof windows, VELUX and other makes alike, in suitable pitched roofs, and rooflights for flat roofs where the structure allows. Photographs of the loft space, with an idea of where you would like the window, are a good starting point.
Fitting a window into slate or tile
On a slate roof the flashing kit has to be suited to slate, and the surrounding slates cut and dressed neatly. On a tiled roof the kit matches the tile profile. Either way, the opening must work with the rafters. The position of the window affects headroom and the view, so it is worth deciding where it will be most useful before the opening is cut.
Converting a loft or cutting a new opening may need building regulations approval, so check with your local council before work.

Fixing leaks at roof windows
A roof window that leaks at the corners is often a flashing problem rather than a glass or frame fault. The surrounding tiles, the underlay and the original fitting are all worth checking. Surrounding tiles or slates may have loosened with age, and we can refix them while the roof is open.
Call or WhatsApp with photos of the window, inside and out, and we can talk it through and quote.

VELUX Roof Windows in West Bridgford: common questions
Can you fit a window made by a brand other than VELUX?
Yes, we are an independent contractor, not VELUX-approved, and fit VELUX and other makes of roof window. The choice should suit the opening. Whichever brand you choose, the unit should fit the opening and suit the covering, which we confirm before ordering.
Will a roof window make a loft room cold?
Modern units are designed to be well sealed, but the result also depends on the fitting and the insulation around it. We would talk about that when we see the loft. Insulation around the frame is a part of the installation, and it is something we would discuss with you.
