“Listed property in Churchtown — they managed the listed building consent application before starting. Consent obtained, Velux correctly installed.”
“Non-listed conservation area property — planning confirmed not required for the rear elevation. Velux fitted correctly.”
“They knew the difference between listed building consent and conservation area planning from the first conversation. That knowledge saved time.”
We assess loft headroom, rafter spacing, and intended use before confirming the Velux model and size. Planning status is confirmed at survey — conservation area and listed building positions are checked before any specification is agreed. Low-pitch properties receive flashing kit assessment.
Tiles are lifted in the installation zone. Rafters are trimmed or doubled as required by the Velux structural specification. Temporary weatherproofing is in place before any structural work begins — the roof is never left open to weather without cover.
The Velux frame is fixed to the rafters at the specified centres. The flashing kit — EDW lead on clay tile properties, standard kit elsewhere — is fitted in the correct sequence: bottom, sides, top. All flashing laps are to Velux specification minimums. Tiles are relaid around the frame. Call 01704 620 427 for a free survey.
The internal lining kit is fitted to the frame. We check the drainage channel and compression seal before leaving. A maintenance note is provided covering the annual frame inspection and clearing of any debris accumulation around the flashing perimeter.
Velux installation is quoted only after a free on-site survey that assesses loft headroom, rafter spacing, roof pitch, and planning status. Call 01704 620 427 to arrange. Survey visits are typically booked within 48–72 hours.
Standard Velux installation on a pitched roof takes half a day to a full day depending on access and roof complexity. The loft space should be cleared in the installation zone before we arrive. The roof will be open for a period of several hours during installation — we minimise this with temporary weatherproofing at all times.
We provide a maintenance note covering annual frame inspection and debris clearance at the flashing perimeter. Velux windows should be opened for ventilation regularly — particularly in winter to prevent condensation on the internal lining. Any compression seal concerns should be checked after the first frost season.
