Roof windows transform dark loft spaces into bright, ventilated rooms. We supply and install the full range of Velux roof windows, sun tunnels and skylights — from straightforward replacements to new installations in existing roofs. Every installation uses the manufacturer-approved flashing kit for your specific roof covering.
The correct roof window depends on roof pitch, tile type, and what you need the window to do. Centre-pivot windows suit standard pitches. Top-hung windows give more headroom. Conservation-style flush-fit windows are required in some Hammersmith conservation areas.
The roof window itself rarely leaks — it is the flashing around it that fails. We use only Velux-approved flashing kits matched to your specific tile profile. Generic flashings and site-made solutions are the primary cause of roof window leaks in Hammersmith.
If you are converting your loft, Building Regulations require minimum window areas for natural light and ventilation, plus at least one opening window for fire escape. We work with your builder to position and size windows correctly for compliance.
Mix of Georgian riverside properties on Upper Mall and Hammersmith Terrace, Victorian terraces around Brook Green and Ravenscourt Park, and 1960s council estates near the flyover. The area between King Street and the river has some of West London's most valuable period housing. For velux & roof windows work in Hammersmith, this housing profile means we commonly encounter Thames riverside properties on Upper Mall face flood risk and persistent damp — roof timbers show moisture migration from ground level.

The streets of Hammersmith — including King Street Hammersmith, Upper Mall, Hammersmith Terrace — have roofing characteristics that reflect their construction era and the specific exposure conditions of Hammersmith & Fulham. As an inner London borough flanking the Thames, Hammersmith & Fulham experiences the full urban heat island effect — summer roof surface temperatures regularly exceed 60°C, driving extreme thermal cyc

A standard centre-pivot Velux window supplied and installed in Hammersmith costs £800–£1,500 depending on size. Larger or specialist windows including balcony-style and conservation models run £1,500–£3,000. Replacement of an existing unit is typically £600–£1,000.
Yes — we cut into the existing roof, install the window with correct structural support, and weatherproof with the appropriate flashing kit. Planning permission is not usually required unless you are in a conservation area.
The three most common causes are: incorrect or deteriorated flashing, condensation mistaken for a leak, and failed window seals. We diagnose the actual cause before quoting — it is often a straightforward flashing repair rather than a window replacement.
Minimal — clean the glass, oil the hinges annually, and check the flashing seals every 2-3 years. Velux windows typically last 20-30 years before the seals and mechanisms need attention.
Yes — old skylights are often single-glazed, poorly sealed and difficult to open. A modern Velux replacement gives you double glazing, proper ventilation, and a reliable weatherproof seal.
Yes — sun tunnels bring natural light to internal rooms that cannot have a conventional window. They are ideal for bathrooms, hallways and stairwells in Hammersmith properties.
Window size depends on room floor area — Building Regulations specify minimum glazing areas for habitable rooms. We calculate the correct size based on your room dimensions and roof pitch.
Hammersmith and Fulham packs more Victorian terraced housing per square mile than almost anywhere in London, and the roofing challenges reflect this density. Fulham's grid streets between Fulham Palace Road and Wandsworth Bridge Road contain thousands of two-storey terraces with the characteristic butterfly roof profile — an M-shaped valley roof where all rainwater channels to a concealed central valley. This design was elegant and space-efficient when built in the 1880s; 140 years later, those central valleys are the most common single point of failure we see across the borough.
As an inner London borough flanking the Thames, Hammersmith and Fulham experiences the full urban heat island effect. Summer roof surface temperatures regularly exceed 60°C, driving extreme thermal cycling on lead, zinc and felt that accelerates material fatigue. The Thames frontage along Hammersmith and Fulham reaches means riverside properties face persistent damp exposure and occasional flood risk. Winter storms funnel between terraced streets, creating localised wind loading that displaces ridge tiles and lifts flashings.
Fulham property prices have risen dramatically — a standard Victorian terrace that sold for £400,000 fifteen years ago now commands £1.2-1.5 million. At these values, a sound roof is a non-negotiable expectation from buyers, mortgage lenders and insurers. The cost of a complete butterfly valley replacement and roof overhaul on a Fulham terrace is typically £5,000-8,000 — a fraction of the value it protects.
Every job follows our standard quality process: free inspection and assessment, written quote with full scope of work, professional installation by our own team using specified materials, post-completion inspection with photographic record, and a written guarantee. This process applies to every job regardless of size — a £200 repair gets the same professional approach as a £15,000 re-roof.
We specify materials based on the specific conditions of your property — its age, construction type, exposure and the performance requirements of the job. We never use the cheapest available option as default — we use the right option for your situation and explain why. All materials are sourced from established manufacturers with proven track records.
All work carries our written workmanship guarantee. The guarantee period depends on the scope of work — from 2 years on minor repairs to 10 years on full installations. Guarantees are transferable if you sell the property. Materials carry the manufacturer's own guarantee in addition to our workmanship cover.
No call-out fees. No obligation. Just an honest quote from a local Hammersmith roofer who turns up when they say they will.
