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.

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.
