Supply and fit of a standard Velux GGL unit in Oadby 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.

Oadby sits on elevated ground above the Soar Valley with south-westerly exposure across the open golf course to the west. Properties on the estate fringe experience noticeably more wind uplift on west-facing ridges and hips than sheltered inner Leicester suburbs.
The dominant 1930s detached and semi-detached stock across Stoughton Drive South, The Fairway and Glen Road has hipped roof designs with mortar-bedded ridge and hip details now 85–90 years into their service life.
West-facing ridges and hips on Oadby golf course estate properties require more frequent attention than equivalent Leicester city properties due to the elevated exposure. Mechanically fixed replacements are the recommended approach on exposed western elevations. We cover all of Oadby 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.
