Most leaking skylights need a flashing kit, not a replacement; new windows need the right planning and flashing in Bradford-on-Avon. Bradford-on-Avon is a steep Bath-stone town tumbling down to the river — terraced weavers' cottages, stone-slate and clay roofs, and one of Wiltshire's densest listed-building cores. On this kind of stock, the common problems are conservation-grade stone-slate work, lime repointing on stone stacks, and moss on the shaded riverside terraces — and knowing which you are dealing with is the difference between a lasting fix and money wasted.
Velux roof window installation and replacement in Bradford-on-Avon covers new loft conversion glazing, replacement of failed windows, and flashing repairs. Loft conversions on Bradford-on-Avon's Bath stone conservation town properties are a regular driver of Velux installation demand. The most common call, however, is a leaking Velux where the window itself is fine but the flashing kit has failed — a significantly cheaper fix than full window replacement.
We handle the complete roofing element — tile cutting, counter battening, and the Velux proprietary flashing kit correctly installed. Correct flashing is what separates a long-term weatherproof result from a future leak. Rear-slope installations usually proceed without consent even in conservation areas. Front-slope work on listed buildings needs prior discussion. We work alongside builders and loft conversion contractors and can coordinate the roofing element within a larger project programme.
For a new window we check rafter spacing, the room below and planning status; for a leak we diagnose the flashing.
Rear-slope installations are usually permitted development; front-slope, listed and conservation-area need checking first.
A fixed price for install or flashing repair, agreed before work.
The window is fitted and sealed with the correct flashing kit for your specific tile or slate profile.
We test for watertightness, make good internally where agreed, and guarantee the work.

Cutting a new opening needs dry conditions so the roof is never left open to rain; we weather-schedule new installations.

A day of work with some internal dust where the opening is cut; we sheet the room, protect floors, and clear up fully. You do not need to stay home for external work.
Flashing repairs run year-round; new installations need a dry window so the opening is never exposed to rain. Bradford-on-Avon's steep valley sides and riverside position combine shade, humidity and wind exposure on the upper slopes.

Velux recommends a minimum glazed area of 10% of the floor area. For a typical loft bedroom of 12–15m², two standard pivot windows (78×98cm) usually meet this. We advise on sizing during the survey.
Internal condensation indicates insufficient ventilation. Solutions include trickle ventilators, upgraded mechanical ventilation, or a triple-glazed thermally-broken Velux. External condensation is normal and not a fault.
