Roof Window Installation in Alton

Roof window installation in Alton for lofts, bathrooms, landings and converted rooms. The window has to be flashed into the surrounding tiles properly or it will leak. We cut in, fit and finish the whole job.

Where a Roof Window Works Best

Roof windows suit loft conversions, bathrooms with no outside wall, dark landings and rooms in the eaves. Placing it matters as much as the size. Higher up gives more light across the room, lower down gives a view out when you are sitting.

Cutting In and Flashing the Window

We cut the opening, trim and support the rafters, fit the frame square, then fit the flashing kit that ties the window into the tiles around it. That flashing kit is what keeps the water out, so it has to match the covering on your roof.

Planning Rules and Loft Conversions

Most roof windows on a house roof are permitted development, so no planning application is needed. Conservation areas, listed buildings and windows on the front slope can be different. Loft conversions need building regulations sign off, and that includes the windows.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to fit a roof window?

A single roof window in an existing roof usually takes a day, sometimes two if the rafters need trimming and supporting. Plastering and decorating the reveal inside is extra time. We tell you what is included in the quotation.

Can you fit a roof window in a tiled roof?

Yes. Flashing kits come in different types for tiles, slates and low profile coverings, so the window can go into almost any roof. We check what your roof is covered with before ordering, so the kit matches the first time.

Do roof windows leak?

A correctly fitted window with the right flashing kit does not. Leaks nearly always come from the flashing being installed badly or the wrong kit being used for the roof covering. That detail is the part we get right.
