Velux & roof windows, fitted by real roofers.

A standard Velux installation in a Herefordshire home typically ranges from £950 to £1,800 supplied and fitted, depending on the window size, tile type, and whether it's a new opening or replacing an existing unit. Prices include the correct flashing kit, soakers, all roofing labour and tidy internal trimming. We always provide a clear written quote up front.

Yes — and it's usually a one-day job. We strip the surrounding tiles, lift the old unit out, prep the opening, fit the new Velux with a fresh flashing kit, and re-lay the tiles or slates around it. New units are far more efficient, better sealed and quieter in the rain than older ones.

Quality Velux units rarely leak when properly installed. Almost every leak we get called to is down to a missing or wrong flashing kit, soakers that haven't been dressed correctly, or surrounding tiles that weren't re-laid properly. Get the install right and a Velux is as watertight as the rest of the roof.

For most pitched-roof Velux installs, yes — proper edge protection or scaffolding is needed to work safely and to give us room to lay tiles correctly around the new opening. Cost is usually included in the overall quote.

A new Velux installation on a typical pitched roof usually takes 1 day for a single window, including flashing and tile re-lay. Internal plastering and decoration is separate and usually arranged afterwards. We'll confirm the schedule in your written quote.

Yes — slate roofs need particular care with the soaker detail to remain watertight long-term. We use the correct slate-profile flashing kits and dress lead soakers properly so the install matches the look and longevity of the original slating.
