📞 Call Now: 0116 319 1348Roof window problems are usually leaks around the flashing or a misted, failed old unit. Here is how to tell a re-flash from a full replacement.
When it is not the answer: If the glazing is sound and only the flashing leaks, a re-flash is the fix — not a whole new window Read the full guide.
We identify your tile type and confirm whether you need a new opening, a replacement, or just a re-flash.
A fixed price with the correct flashing kit for your roof covering — profiled, plain or slate.
Most installations are booked within one to two weeks.
We fit or replace the window, form or re-flash the surround, and finish the internal reveals.
We weatherproof the opening, clear up, and hand over the guarantee.
| Job | Typical duration |
|---|---|
| Replace into existing opening | half a day |
| New window into existing roof | 1 day |
| Pair / row (loft conversion) | 1–2 days |
We weatherproof any opening at the end of each working day, so the roof is never left exposed overnight.
Roof window work needs safe access to the slope — tower or scaffold depending on height and pitch, itemised in the quote. Scaffold is specified for: steeper pitches, higher slopes, and multiple-window loft conversions - always itemised in your written quote, never a hidden extra, and we arrange it.
Victorian terraces in Highfields and Belgrave mean rear-access scaffold and permit-controlled pavement space; the open post-war estates at Braunstone and Thurmaston are more straightforward to scaffold. Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through Leicester City Council; allow a few working days on streets like East Park Road, Narborough Road, the terraced streets off London Road where space is tight.
| Job | Typical range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Replace into existing opening | £900–£1,800 | Like-for-like |
| New window into existing roof | £1,200–£3,000 | Incl. flashing kit |
| Additional window (same visit) | from £900 | Alongside a first |
| Correct flashing kit | included | Matched to tile type |
| Dormer window repair | per scope | After survey |
Worked example: Two Velux windows into an Oadby loft conversion, correctly flashed for concrete tile with finished reveals, typically £2,400–£3,400 for the pair.
Paid on completion; nothing up front before the window and flashing kit are on site.
Covering LE1, LE2, LE3, LE4, LE5 and surrounding postcodes.
Installation and flashing carry a 10-year written workmanship guarantee; the window unit carries the manufacturer's warranty on top.
If a fault appears in covered work, we come back and put it right. No quibbling, no re-charge.
A tidy, mostly-external job with a little internal plaster work at the reveals; usually done within a day per window. You do not need to stay home for external work - we just need power and access agreed in advance.
Installation runs year-round; we schedule around heavy rain since the roof is briefly open during the fit. Leicester’s inland Midlands position means wind-driven rain is the main roofing stress rather than coastal salt.
Free, no-obligation. No call-out fee. Local team.
Loughborough has a housing stock characterised by Victorian and Edwardian terraces around the university on Ashby Road and Storer Road, elevated north position with Charnwood Forest cold air drainage causing more severe freeze-thaw than Leicester city. Student and family conversions in Loughborough's Victorian terrace stock around the university generate consistent Velux installation demand. Correct flashing on freeze-thaw-exposed positions is critical. We cover all of Loughborough and the LE11 postcode area.
Supply and fit single unit £450–£750. Re-flashing £200–£400. Free written quote before any work starts — no hidden extras.
All velux windows work carries a written workmanship guarantee. We are NFRC registered, carry £5m public liability insurance, and have been serving Leicester and Leicestershire since 2003.

Supply and fit of a standard Velux GGL unit in Loughborough 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.
Yes. We supply and fit Velux INTEGRA solar-powered roof windows across Loughborough. No electrical connection required — the solar panel charges an internal battery.
Yes. All Velux installation and re-flashing carries a written workmanship guarantee.
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.
Loughborough sits on elevated ground north of the Soar Valley with cold air drainage from the Charnwood Forest ridge to the north and west. Overnight frosts are more severe and more frequent than in Leicester city, producing more aggressive freeze-thaw cycling on exposed ridge and chimney mortar.
Victorian and Edwardian terraces around the university on Ashby Road and Storer Road form the core of Loughborough's older residential stock. North-facing slopes on these properties are more severely affected by freeze-thaw mortar deterioration than equivalent Leicester city suburban properties.
Ridge tile mortar failure from freeze-thaw cycling is the single most frequent repair call we receive from Loughborough. Properties on the north and north-east facing slopes of the university corridor area are most affected, requiring more frequent attention than the Loughborough south and west-facing slopes. We cover all of Loughborough 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.

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.
