Roof windows & skylights
A well-fitted roof window brings light and ventilation into the room without compromising the roof around it.

Signs worth having checked.
- Water staining around the internal window reveal
- Condensation, draughts or a damaged window seal
- Cracked glazing or a stiff opening mechanism
- Old flashing that no longer sits correctly with the tiles
Observe from a safe place. You do not need to access the roof to make an enquiry.
What the work may involve.
- Inspection of the frame, glazing, underlay and surrounding roof
- Repair or replacement of the flashing kit and weathering details
- Local tile or slate repairs around the opening
- Replacement roof-window installation where repair is not practical
- Internal and external checks before the work is signed off
The actual work should follow an inspection and an agreed written quotation.
Leak, condensation or a worn window?
Moisture on the inside can have more than one cause. The frame, seals, flashing and surrounding covering should be checked before choosing repair or replacement.
Before the inspection
If accessible safely from inside, note the window model and where moisture appears. Do not lean outside to inspect it.
What affects the price?
Access equipment, the extent of the fault, compatible materials and any underlying damage. Request a clear scope with exclusions, rather than relying on a price for an unseen roof.
What a clear quotation covers →Start with what you have noticed.
A leak, a loose slate or a roof ready for renewal. You do not need to diagnose the problem yourself.
