Honest advice
How to Tell You Need Velux & Skylights
Most Velux problems in Stratford are a flashing-kit issue, not a failed window — the kit has to match the exact tile profile or it leaks.
Water tracking in around the frame of an existing roof window
A dated or draughty skylight you want replaced
A loft or room-in-roof that needs more natural light
Condensation or staining around a poorly flashed rooflight
When it is not the answer: If the window is sound and only the flashing kit is wrong, we re-flash it rather than replacing the whole unit — far cheaper. Read the full guide.
The anatomy of a pitched roofAlcester focus
Velux & Skylights in Alcester
loft conversions and rooflights here need the flashing kit matched to whatever tile the roof carries, which is the single most common thing that separates a dry rooflight from a leaking one. Sitting where the Arrow meets the Alne, Alcester's low centre holds damp; clay peg tile dominates the older roofs and moss favours the shaded riverside slopes.
Alcester's Roman-founded core is dense with timber-framed and Georgian frontages — Malt Mill Lane is a conservation showpiece — needing permit-controlled access, while Kinwarton and the Oversley estates are open and modern. That shapes how we quote and carry out velux & skylights here — the access, the materials and the detailing are matched to Alcester's roofs, not lifted from a generic template.

Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through Stratford-on-Avon District Council; allow a few working days on streets like Malt Mill Lane, Butter Street, Henley Street where space is tight.

Standards & workmanship
What Good Looks Like
A roof window only stays watertight if its flashing kit matches the exact tile profile — the wrong kit is the single most common cause of a leaking Velux. — to BS 5534 and the manufacturer
We fit the manufacturer's profile-specific flashing kit and detail the surrounding tiling to BS 5534, so the window sheds water the way it was designed to. Most 'faulty' rooflights we are called to are not faulty at all — they were flashed with the wrong kit.
Good to know
Disruption, Mess & Weather
A day of work with some internal dust where the ceiling is opened; we sheet the room and clear up, and the rest of the house stays usable. You do not need to stay home for external work - we just need power and access agreed in advance.
Installations run in dry spells; the opening is only ever exposed under cover and made weathertight the same day. Sitting where the Arrow meets the Alne, Alcester's low centre holds damp; clay peg tile dominates the older roofs and moss favours the shaded riverside slopes.
Covering B49, B50 and surrounding postcodes.
