FAQs: All You Need to Know About Our Roof Window Services
What’s included in a Velux installation quote?
We strive to make our roof window quotes as clear and straightforward as possible. Each quote covers the supply, delivery, and professional installation of your new roof windows, or a full repair or replacement if needed. We’re also happy to remove and recycle any old windows or related materials as part of the service.
Roof windows be installed from the inside?
Yes – in most cases, they can. Around 95% of roof windows can be installed from inside the property, meaning there’s usually no need for external scaffolding. These internal installations are typically quick and efficient, often completed in as little as four hours from start to finish.
How much does it cost to install a new Velux roof window?
The total cost of a new Velux installation or replacement can vary depending on several factors, such as the style and size of the window, as well as local labour rates. We’re always happy to offer a free, no-obligation quote tailored to your specific needs.
Can Velux roof windows be installed on any roof pitch?
Yes – Velux roof windows are designed to suit a wide range of roof pitches. Top-hung models can be installed on pitches between 15° and 75°, while centre-pivot windows are suitable for pitches from 15° up to 90°. The exact compatibility will also depend on the flashing kit and roofing materials used. Velux also offers solutions for low-pitch and flat roofs.
Will you need to visit my property before installation?
In most cases, a site visit isn’t necessary. We’re able to provide accurate quotes remotely – all we usually need is a photo from inside, the Velux ID code, and a brief description of the roof covering. This allows us to assess the job and provide a clear quote without the need for an initial visit.
Will I need planning permission to install roof windows?
In most cases, planning permission isn’t required to install roof windows or skylights, as they typically fall under permitted development rights. However, certain conditions must be met, and it’s important to ensure your installation complies with current building regulations. We’re always happy to offer guidance and advice to help you stay on the right side of the rules.
Do Velux roof windows meet Building Regulations?
What glass options are available for Velux roof windows?
Velux offers a wide selection of glazing options to suit your needs. Choices include double or triple glazing, as well as features like toughened glass, laminated safety glass, UV protection, and enhanced noise reduction. There’s a solution for every style, performance requirement, and budget.
Does Lincolnshire Roof Windows install Velux accessories, such as blinds?
Are your roof window installers trained with Velux?
Can we upgrade our existing Velux windows?
Yes, absolutely. A large part of our work involves Velux renewals and replacements. In addition to replacing individual parts, we offer full window replacements with the latest technology. This includes features like electronically-operated windows that open at the touch of a button and automatically close when they detect rain.
