Velux & Skylight Installation in Darlington & the North East

★★★★★ 5.0 from 69 Google reviews · Fully insured · No payment until you’re satisfied
We fit roof windows and skylights across Darlington, Newton Aycliffe, Stockton-on-Tees, Middlesbrough, Hartlepool, Durham and the wider North East — for loft conversions, kitchen extensions, bathrooms, landings and any room that could do with more daylight. We work with Velux and other quality roof windows, and install flat-roof lanterns and skylights on extensions.
The single most important part of a roof window is the flashing and weatherproofing around it — get that wrong and it leaks. As roofers, that’s exactly our trade: we cut in, flash and seal each window correctly into your specific roof covering so it stays watertight for the long term.
Whether it’s a single Velux to brighten a landing or several as part of a loft conversion, we’ll advise on the best size and position and give you a clear price.

What Our Customers Say
EXCELLENT Based on 70 reviews Posted on Google Daniel HTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tom and his team have left us with a first class upgraded drive. Tom was brilliant, friendly and knowledgeable to deal with from our initial no obligation quote months ago to us getting back in touch later in the year, we didn’t feel rushed whatsoever. He gave us a more than fair price for the job, the outcome of two days hard graft by him, and his team is an outstanding end product we are more than satisfied with. He should be satisfied with the high standards the team has achieved and we will be returning for more work in the future.Posted on Google Becky FTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent work replacing a conservatory roof, soffits and gutters. They carried out in a timely manner, tidied up as they went and everyone who came into the house was friendly. They explained what they were doing, can’t fault any of the work carried out. Would recommendPosted on Google Martin HTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thanks Tom for the work done. You and your team provided a quality job to convert our conservatory roof. You were there on time each day and left it clean after completion. I would recommend you to anyone thinking of having a similar work done. MartinPosted on Google Angela ETrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have had a new roof fitted on our conservatory. Roofs and Drives did an excellent job, and the finished work looks great. The men were polite and considerate, cleared up well when they had finished and were reliable in terms of arrival and finished times, and length of time to be taken. We feel we were given very good value for money.Posted on Google Mary WTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Came straight out and made storm damage water tight. Professional polite lads. Would recommend to friends and family .Posted on Google Louise dTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a little bit of concern as a couple of ridges was loose on my roof but i contacted Roof and Drives ltd. They were very prompt when i rang to get them round to do the work. They did it promptly and at a reasonable prices and I am a very happy customer and would recommend them to any one.Posted on Google Tom HTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tom and his team have just completed a fantastic job installing a new roof on my conservatory, installing down lighters and creating a fantastic new space. On top of that they have removed a stud wall creating a fantastic new open space in my bedroom. They have an extra mile to install new guttering, facias and soffits on the property which gives a new feel and looks fantastic. They have worked really hard to give me what I wanted. Would highly recommend Roofs & Drives to anyone looking for a harding working team who do a fantastic job.Posted on Google R_yxnjamesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had some damage to the guttering on my roof and they came out fairly quickly and sorted it, decent price, good quality + top lads that did it. Shout out to Matty!Posted on Google Stephen mTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tom and his team did an outstanding job in renewing our conservatory roof. The finished result using Metrotile and insulation is much warmer and quieter. We also had the drive and front of the house re-done, which involved a lot of preparation. Tom and his team again did a great job finishing with a resin bound uv surface. All work was done to a very high standard, and all waste taken away promptly. We would have no hesitation in reccommending Roofs & Drives to anyone considering having work done at a very competitive price. Mr & Mrs Meacher.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you fit a Velux into any roof?
We fit roof windows into pitched slate and tile roofs, and skylights and lanterns into flat roofs. At the survey we’ll confirm the best type and position for your roof and room.
Do you fit Velux for loft conversions?
Yes — roof windows are a big part of loft conversions and extensions. We can fit single or multiple windows and make everything watertight.
Will a new roof window leak?
Not when it’s flashed and sealed correctly — which is a roofer’s job. Most leaking roof windows were poorly installed; we cut in and weatherproof each one properly for your specific covering.
How much does Velux installation cost?
It depends on the window size and type and your roof, so there’s no fixed price. You’ll get a clear written quote after a free survey.
