Roof windows bring light into lofts, extensions and stairwells. They also create a junction in the roof that has to be flashed correctly to stay watertight.
Our staged photographs show re-roofing around roof windows and panels. We fit new units, replace old ones and fix leaking flashings.

Roof windows and skylights: common questions
Do I need planning permission for roof windows?
Often roof windows fall within permitted development, but rules vary by property and location. Check with your local planning authority.
Can a leaking roof window be repaired?
Often the flashing is the problem and can be redone. Older failed units may be better replaced.
Do you fit skylights on flat roofs?
Yes, with appropriate upstands and detailing for the roof system.
