Velux & Skylight Installation in East Yorkshire

A roof window or skylight brings natural light into lofts, extensions and dark rooms. The key to a roof window is the flashing and weatherproofing around it — done properly it is completely watertight for decades. We install Velux and similar roof windows into pitched and flat roofs with the correct flashing kit for your covering.

Supply and fit of a standard roof window commonly ranges £900–£1,800 depending on size, access and finishing. Free fixed quote.

What's included

  • Roof window supply and installation (pitched and flat roofs)
  • Correct flashing kit for slate, tile or flat coverings
  • Forming and trimming the opening and internal reveal
  • Replacing failed or leaking existing roof windows

Velux & Skylight Installation — frequently asked questions

Will a roof window leak?

Not when installed correctly. The flashing kit matched to your roof covering is what makes it watertight. Leaks almost always come from a wrong or poorly fitted flashing, which is exactly what we get right.

Do I need permission for a skylight?

Most roof windows that sit in line with the existing roof slope are permitted development and only need to meet Building Regulations. Conservation areas and listed buildings may differ — we will advise.

Can you replace an old, leaking Velux?

Yes. We remove the old unit, fit a new window and a fresh flashing kit, and make good inside and out.

Re-roofing replaces your entire roof covering — tiles or slates, battens, underlay (felt), and usually the ridge and flashings — giving you a watertight, energy-efficient roof that should last decades.
