Most leaking skylights need a flashing kit, not a replacement; new windows need the right planning and flashing in Royal Wootton Bassett. Royal Wootton Bassett has a historic High Street core but is dominated by extensive post-war and modern estates built as the town expanded north of the M4. On this kind of stock, the common problems are nail sickness and dry-verge failure on the concrete-tile estates, wind-lifted tiles, and early uPVC roofline failing on the 1990s stock — and knowing which you are dealing with is the difference between a lasting fix and money wasted.
Velux roof window installation and replacement in Royal Wootton Bassett covers new loft conversion glazing, replacement of failed windows, and flashing repairs. Loft conversions on Royal Wootton Bassett's Victorian town centre and 1990s–2000s estates 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 fall under permitted development. Front-slope windows may need consent. 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.
