Supply and fit of a standard Velux GGL unit in Hinckley costs £450-£750 depending on size. Re-flashing a leaking unit costs £200-£400. Free written quote for all work.
This depends on your rafter spacing and rough opening. We measure on-site before ordering — ordering the wrong size is a costly mistake we prevent with a survey before specifying materials.
In most cases a leaking Velux is caused by a failed flashing kit rather than the unit itself. Re-flashing typically costs £200-£400 and permanently resolves the leak. We diagnose the cause on a free site visit.

Hinckley sits on elevated ground south-west of Leicester with no natural shelter from prevailing westerly and south-westerly weather. Wind-driven rain on west-facing elevations is significantly more severe than in the sheltered Soar Valley suburbs of Leicester city.
Victorian town centre terraces in Stockwell Head and 1930s–50s semis on the Coventry Road and Burbage corridors form the primary housing stock. West-facing clay tile slopes on these properties experience more wind-driven rain penetration than equivalent Leicester city properties.
Hip tile failures on exposed south-west facing elevations are more frequent in Hinckley than anywhere else in our coverage area. Mechanical fixings on replaced hip tiles on exposed elevations are standard practice for us on Hinckley properties. We cover all of Hinckley and the surrounding area — the same team that surveys your roof carries out the work, with no subcontractors and no third parties.
We always measure rafter spacing, pitch and rough opening before specifying any unit. Ordering the wrong size is an expensive mistake. We also confirm the correct flashing kit profile for the tile type — plain tile, interlocking, slate — before ordering. Wrong flashing kit causes the majority of leaking Velux windows we attend.
Most leaking Velux units in Leicestershire are caused by incorrect flashing specification, not unit failure. Re-flashing with the correct kit profile resolves the problem permanently. We confirm tile profile before ordering any flashing kit and include the correct kit in our quote before any work starts.

Installing a Velux in an existing roof slope is generally permitted development — no planning application required. However, if the loft is being converted to habitable space at the same time, Building Regulations approval is required for the overall conversion (fire escape, insulation, structural calculations). We advise on any planning or Building Regulations implications as part of our free survey — we carry out Velux installations regularly across Leicester including on loft conversions.
Every job we carry out starts with a free on-site survey and a written itemised quote. The quote specifies the scope of work, materials by name, access method and guarantee period. No work starts without your written acceptance. We never add costs on site without discussing them with you first and getting your agreement. Our quotes are fixed-price — the figure you accept is the figure you pay unless you request additional work.
All our roofing work carries a written workmanship guarantee — 2 years on minor repairs, 5 years on lead work and structural repairs, 10 years on full re-roofing. We are registered with the National Federation of Roofing Contractors (NFRC), carry £5m public liability insurance, and have been working across Leicester and Leicestershire since 2003. If anything we have carried out develops a problem within the guarantee period, we return and put it right at no charge. Our NFRC registration and insurance certificate are provided with every written quote on request.
The cost of Velux installation in Leicester varies with three factors: the unit itself (size, specification, manual vs solar), the flashing kit (which must match the tile profile and adds to materials cost), and the internal lining (the plasterboard and plaster reveal around the unit inside the loft). All three elements should be specified in a written quote before any work starts.
