Repairs, replacements and upgrades
In time, as with any part of the building fabric, windows can deteriorate and may need repair or replacement. We will be happy to provide advice and recommendations further to a brief site survey. It is also worth thinking about upgrading your windows with more energy efficient glazing or powered operation.

In addition to being a VELUX installer, we can service your VELUX products to keep them in good shape and detect any potential issues before they become irreversible. We recommend servicing your VELUX windows every two years.

Pitched roof windows
For decades VELUX have led the way in the design of the pitched roof window and there is now a well-established range of sizes with 3 options for internal finishes and a variety of glazing options. Most of the standard sizes are available with centre-pivot or top-hung opening and are available with either solar or electric powered operation.
Centre-pivot roof windows:
The classic design with a handle at the top where the opening sash pivots around centrally located hinges.
Top-hung roof windows:
An additional handle at the bottom of the frame allows you to open the sash which is hinged at the top. Top-hung windows offer you a great view of your skyline and maximise the available space in the room. The perfect choice for loft rooms.
Roof terrace:
Lets you access roof areas when open and allows lots of daylight in when closed.
VELUX CABRIO Balcony:
Enjoy a balcony in seconds, let in more natural daylight and fresh air.
Sloping and vertical combinations:
Create larger glazed areas with combinations of centre-pivot, top-hung and vertical elements.
Dormer & mini dormer windows:
Create extra space and extra daylight in your room.
Conservation roof windows:
Traditional properties in conservation areas may require the use of conservation style roof windows. These come with additional glazing bars and are factory finished in black.
Special function roof windows:
VELUX also manufacture a number of specialised windows for other requirements. These include smoke ventilation windows, smart (heat recovery) ventilation windows, burglar resistant windows and Passive House windows.
