Velux & Roof WindowsShrewsbury

Roof windows transform dark loft rooms and converted spaces into usable living areas. They also introduce a potential leak point if not correctly installed and flashed. In Shrewsbury’s damp climate, the quality of the installation and the flashing kit used around the window is the difference between a dry loft and a recurring water ingress problem.

New roof window installation in Shrewsbury

Whether you’re converting a loft on a Meole Brace semi or adding light to a rear addition on a Belle Vue terrace, we install all leading brands of roof window: Velux, Fakro, Keylite and Roto. Structural opening preparation, tile cutting, counter battening, full flashing kit installation and internal lining are all included in our quotation. No returns to fix leaks.

Replacement and repair of existing roof windows

Velux windows installed in the 1990s and early 2000s are now reaching the end of their effective life. Failed rubber seals, rotten timber frames and cracked glass are the most common issues we attend across Shrewsbury’s loft conversions. Direct replacement with a current model is usually straightforward as modern units are designed to fit standard rough openings.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Most roof window installations in Shrewsbury fall under permitted development and do not require planning permission. Conservation area and listed building properties need to check with the local authority — flush-fitting conservation-spec units are usually acceptable.

Roof window installations in habitable rooms require Building Regulations compliance for thermal performance and structural adequacy. We provide a full installation that meets current Part L and Part A requirements. Listed building installations also require Listed Building Consent.

The minimum recommended roof window area for a habitable loft room is 10% of the floor area. We advise on the optimal size and position at the free survey, balancing natural light, ventilation requirements and structural constraints for your specific roof pitch and rafter spacing.

Yes. Failed flashing kits are the most common cause of leaks around existing roof windows. We assess whether the window itself needs replacing or whether a new flashing kit will resolve the leak — and we give an honest recommendation.

A standard Velux installation typically costs £600–£1,200 supply and fit, depending on size and access. Conservation flush-fit units are £1,000–£2,000. Free surveys and quotes available.

Not necessarily. In some cases the flashing kit around the window fails before the window itself. We assess both the window and the flashing and recommend the most cost-effective solution.

Yes. Clay tile and Welsh slate roofs are common across Shrewsbury’s period stock and require specific flashing kits to integrate correctly. We specify the correct kit for each tile profile.

Why Homeowners in Shropshire Choose Us

Honest Surveys

We survey every property physically before quoting — never from the ground or from photographs. If repair is the right answer we say so. We do not push replacements when they are not warranted, and we do not recommend repairs when replacement is the more economical decision over a five-year horizon.

Written Fixed Prices

Every quote is written, itemised and fixed before any work starts. No verbal estimates, no day-rate pricing, no additions once the job has begun without prior agreement. You know the exact cost before we lift a tile — and the price does not change unless the scope changes and you agree to it.

Our Own Team

No subcontractors, no agency labour. The team that surveys your roof is the team that carries out the work. We have been building our reputation in Shropshire since 2003 by taking direct responsibility for every job — something a contractor who farms work to subcontractors cannot offer.

10-Year Guarantee

All re-roof and major repair work carries a written 10-year workmanship guarantee issued at job completion. We are fully insured with £5m public liability cover. NFRC registered. We have been trading in Shropshire for over 20 years — our guarantee means something because we will be here to honour it.

Coverage Across Shrewsbury and Shropshire

We cover the full Shropshire area from our Shrewsbury base, with no additional travel charge for any location within our coverage area. The same team, the same standards, and the same written 10-year guarantee apply on every job — whether we are working in a Victorian terrace in Belle Vue, a 1960s semi in Harlescott, a period villa in Church Stretton, or a modern estate in Telford.

Our coverage includes all Shrewsbury suburbs — Bayston Hill, Meole Brace, Monkmoor, Belle Vue, Harlescott, Copthorne, Radbrook and Kingsland — and all surrounding Shropshire towns including Telford, Oswestry, Whitchurch, Newport, Shifnal, Wem, Church Stretton and Market Drayton. We also cover the villages and rural properties between these centres across all SY and TF postcodes.

Free surveys are available across all of this coverage area with no call-out charge and no obligation to proceed. Call 01743 537230 to book.

Before You Book: What to Expect

Every job starts with a free survey — not a quote over the phone, not an estimate from the ground. We access the roof, inspect the defect and its cause, check for related issues in the surrounding area, and photograph the condition. The survey takes 20 to 45 minutes depending on roof size and access. You receive a written fixed-price quote the same day or the following morning.

We do not use pressure tactics, we do not offer discounts for booking on the day, and we do not manufacture urgency. If a job can wait a week safely we will tell you. If it needs addressing quickly we will tell you that too — along with the specific reason why.

Payment is never requested upfront for repair jobs. For larger replacement work, a deposit of 10 to 25 percent covers materials, with the balance due on satisfactory completion. We accept bank transfer and card. We do not operate as a cash-only business.

Our Approach: Survey, Quote, Complete

Every job starts with a physical survey — not a quote over the phone, not an estimate from the ground. We access the roof, inspect defects and their causes, check for related issues in surrounding areas, and photograph the condition. The written fixed-price quote is issued the same day or the following morning. Survey visits are free across all Shropshire postcodes with no call-out charge and no obligation to proceed.

We do not use pressure tactics, do not offer day-of discounts to rush a decision, and do not manufacture urgency. If a job can wait two weeks safely we tell you. If it needs addressing immediately we explain exactly why. Every quote is written and itemised — no verbal estimates, no additions once work has started without prior agreement.

Pricing and Payment

All prices are fixed before work starts. For repair jobs under £500, payment is due on completion. For larger jobs — re-roofs, full guttering replacements, chimney rebuilds — a deposit of 10 to 25 percent covers materials, with the balance on satisfactory completion. We never ask for full payment upfront on any job. We accept bank transfer and card. Full VAT receipts are issued at completion on all work.

Any contractor requiring full cash payment upfront, offering large on-the-spot discounts, or approaching you unsolicited at your door should be treated with caution. Legitimate roofing contractors do not operate this way. If you are unsure about a quote you have received, call us on 01743 537230 for an independent assessment.
