What it is Velux installation is the full job of cutting a hole in your roof, installing a new skylight with manufacturer-spec flashing kit, finishing the internal opening (plasterboard, paint or tile), and signing off the job to manufacturer standards so the 10-year warranty is valid. Who it's for Homeowners adding light to a loft conversion, kitchen extension, landing, bathroom or stairwell. Owners replacing a worn-out Velux that is leaking, condensing or simply 20+ years old and inefficient. Self-builders and renovators specifying skylights into new construction. When you need it When a dark room needs daylight without compromising privacy, during a loft conversion or extension build, when an existing Velux is leaking or fogged between panes, or when an upgrade to modern triple-glazed energy-efficient skylights is overdue. Why professional matters A Velux is a hole in your roof. Done well, it is a 30-year asset that transforms a room and adds value. Done badly, it is a permanent leak source. The difference is the flashing kit installation, the upstand detail, the internal vapour barrier — none of which a general builder is trained to detail correctly. Cost of Doing Nothing ## What happens if you leave it? Velux skylights are one of the most commonly mis-installed elements in modern UK housing. A handful of skipped details turns a 30-year asset into a 5-year liability. ### The risks - Wrong flashing kit (or worse, no flashing kit) — water tracks under the surrounding tiles, rots the rafters around the opening. - Skipped internal vapour control layer — warm internal air condenses on the cold glass, drips down the plaster reveal, ruins decoration every winter. - Cut rafters not properly trimmed — structural failure over time, sagging roof line around the opening. - Wrong size opening for the chosen Velux — installer fudges with timber packers, leaks at the corners. - Standard glass spec where Building Regulations require safety glass (Part K for low-level installations) — non-compliant install. ### Common mistakes - Letting a general builder fit a Velux instead of an experienced roofer who details the flashing kit correctly. - Picking the cheapest pine model when oak or maintenance-free white polyurethane is far better in bathrooms and kitchens. - Skipping the integrated flashing kit and 'making one up' with lead and silicone. - Not specifying the right tile profile for the flashing kit — universal kits leak on interlocking tiles. Our Process ## A simple, predictable system — start to finish. - 01 ### Step 1 — Site survey & spec We measure roof pitch, tile profile, rafter spacing and internal headroom. Confirm Velux size, glazing spec, internal finish and blind options. - 02 ### Step 2 — Fixed-price written quote Itemised: Velux unit, flashing kit, structural timber trimming, internal plasterboard and skim, paint, scaffold tower where needed. No extras on completion. - 03 ### Step 3 — Internal protection Dust sheets, plastic zip-walls and floor protection installed before any cutting. Room left as clean as we found it. - 04 ### Step 4 — Cut, structural trim, install Velux + flashing Opening cut, rafters structurally trimmed to manufacturer spec, Velux installed with correct EDW/EDZ flashing kit for your tile profile, vapour control layer and insulation completed around the frame. - 05 ### Step 5 — Internal finish & sign-off Plasterboard reveals, skim, two-coat paint, blind fitted (if specified). 10-year guarantee covering materials and labour handed over. The Benefits ## What you actually get when we are done. ### Transforms a dark room A correctly-placed Velux delivers 3× the natural light of a same-size vertical window — pays back in mood, productivity and lower lighting bills every day. ### Done in a single day Typical single-Velux installation: 7–9 hours from arrival to clean handover. Larger and multi-Velux jobs 2–3 days. ### Adds property value A loft or extension with quality natural light routinely adds noticeable value over the same room with poor light. ### Energy efficient Modern Velux triple-glazed units are U-value 1.0 W/m²K — better than many cavity walls. Solar gain in winter heats the room for free. ### Correct flashing detail Every skylight we fit is installed with the correct flashing kit for your tile profile, the upstand detail done properly, and an internal vapour control layer. ### 10-year guarantee covering materials and labour Every skylight installation we complete is backed in writing for 10 years, covering both materials and labour — covering the flashing detail, internal vapour control and the structural opening. Specialist Detail ## Materials, methods and the nuances that matter. A Velux is engineered to a tolerance — the frame, the flashing kit, the upstand and the internal vapour control all interlock. Get one wrong and water finds it. ### Materials we use Velux GGL / GGU Centre-pivot opening, white-painted pine (GGL) or maintenance-free white polyurethane (GGU). GGU recommended for bathrooms, kitchens and any humid space. Velux GPL / GPU Top-hung opening, used for loft conversions where headroom near the eaves benefits from the window opening outwards. Velux VLT Fixed (non-opening) skylight for unoccupied roof voids and stairwells where ventilation is not needed. Velux Cabrio (GDL) Balcony skylight — opens outwards to become a juliet balcony. Stunning in loft conversions. Velux Sun Tunnel For windowless internal rooms — flexible reflective tube delivers daylight from roof to ceiling via a small dome. EDW / EDZ / EDJ flashing kits EDW for interlocking concrete tile, EDZ for slate and plain tile, EDJ for recessed installation in slate. Always the correct kit for the tile, never universal. ### Methods we follow Standard pitch installation (15°–90°) Most common. EDW or EDZ flashing kit, internal reveals plasterboarded and skimmed. Combination installation (2+ Velux in a row) Adjacent units installed with EKW combi-flashing — supplies a single weatherproof envelope for multiple windows side-by-side or stacked. Flat roof skylight Velux CFP / CVP units onto a kerb-upstand built up from the deck, integrated into EPDM or GRP membrane. Different product entirely to pitched-roof Velux. Sun tunnel installation Flexible or rigid reflective tube installed between roof dome and ceiling diffuser — daylight in windowless rooms with minimal disruption. ### Variations of this service - Single Velux installation - Multi-Velux / combination install - Velux replacement (old unit swap-out) - Sun tunnel installation - Velux Cabrio balcony skylight - Flat-roof Velux (CFP / CVP) - Blind, blackout and powered upgrades - Velux servicing & re-glazing ### When it applies - Loft conversion or attic room - Kitchen extension wanting overhead light - Landing or stairwell with no natural light - Bathroom needing privacy and ventilation - Replacement of leaking older Velux - Multi-window installation for vaulted ceilings ### Residential vs Commercial Commercial skylights (schools, offices, public buildings) typically use larger fixed roof-lights or Velux Modular Skylight systems — engineered glazing assemblies for atria and large open spaces. We undertake the structural roof opening and weather detailing; modular skylight specialists handle the glazing assembly itself.
