Melton Mowbray has a housing stock characterised by Victorian and Edwardian town centre stock on Burton Street and Nottingham Street, open Vale of Belvoir position with strong north-easterly and easterly exposure. Loft conversions in Melton Mowbray's Victorian and Edwardian stock are a growing category. East-facing Velux positions require particularly robust flashing given the wind-driven rain from the Vale of Belvoir. We cover all of Melton Mowbray and the LE13 postcode area.

Supply and fit of a standard Velux GGL unit in Melton Mowbray 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.

Melton Mowbray sits in the open Vale of Belvoir with no significant natural shelter from any direction. North-easterly and easterly weather systems from the Lincolnshire plains hit Melton harder than any other town in our coverage area, making east-facing roof slopes here the most exposed in the portfolio.
Victorian and Edwardian town centre properties on Burton Street and Nottingham Street used clay plain tile as the standard specification. These tiles on east and north-east facing slopes are more vulnerable to wind displacement in Melton than in any other area we cover — the open Vale of Belvoir provides no shelter from the gales that lift unfixed plain tiles.
Mechanical fixing of clay plain tiles on east-facing slopes is standard practice for us on Melton Mowbray properties. Tiles that meet the standard self-weight retention specification on a sheltered Leicester suburban roof are not adequate for the exposed conditions on Melton's east-facing elevations. We cover all of Melton Mowbray 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.
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.

| Solar INTEGRA supply & fit | £900–£1,400 | No electrical connection needed |
| Re-flash leaking unit | £200–£400 | Correct flashing kit installed |

Our quoting process is straightforward and quick. Call 0116 319 1348 to book a free survey — we typically confirm a visit within 24–48 hours and can often attend within the same week for standard jobs. The survey takes 20–45 minutes depending on the scope of work, and we provide a written itemised quote within 48 hours of the visit.
The written quote specifies every element of the work: scope, materials by name, access method, guarantee period and payment terms. We never start work without written acceptance of the quote. We don't require payment in full before work starts — a reasonable deposit of 10–25% covers material ordering, with final payment on satisfactory completion. We accept bank transfer and card payment and provide a VAT invoice on all work.
Once you accept the written quote, we schedule the work and confirm a start date. For larger jobs involving scaffold, we confirm scaffold erection dates separately. We contact you the working day before the start date to confirm the team is attending. On the day, the lead roofer will introduce themselves and walk through the planned work before starting. Any unexpected findings — structural timber problems, additional lead work required — are communicated immediately with a written price before any additional work is carried out. We don't make decisions on site without your knowledge and approval.
