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 Hanwell 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 Hanwell.
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.
Victorian cottages near the Wharncliffe Viaduct and along Hanwell Broadway. 1930s semis on the Cuckoo Estate and along Boston Road. Post-war council housing on the Golden Manor estate with flat-roofed garage blocks. For velux & roof windows work in Hanwell, this housing profile means we commonly encounter Damp penetration through Victorian cottage party walls near the River Brent, flat roof failures on Golden Manor garage blocks, and soaker flashing corrosion where 1930s extensions meet original walls.
The streets of Hanwell — including Boston Road, Greenford Avenue, Uxbridge Road Hanwell — have roofing characteristics that reflect their construction era and the specific exposure conditions of Ealing. Ealing sits on relatively flat ground west of central London, exposed to prevailing south-westerly weather systems that track up the Thames corridor.

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 Hanwell 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.
Ealing's roofing heritage reflects its growth as a Victorian and Edwardian suburb. The earliest surviving roofs on properties around Haven Green and Ealing Broadway date from the 1880s — handmade clay peg tiles on steep pitches with decorative ridge tiles that are now almost impossible to source new. The 1930s building boom brought concrete interlocking tiles to the newer estates across Pitshanger, Northfields and South Ealing, and these roofs are now 85-90 years old and approaching the end of their design life.
Ealing's tree-lined streets create specific seasonal roofing challenges. Autumn brings heavy leaf fall from the mature London planes, limes and oaks that shade residential streets — blocked gutters, valley obstructions and moss-promoting debris accumulation are the predictable result. Winter frost affects the older clay tile stock more severely than modern concrete — water trapped in micro-cracks expands and spalls tile surfaces, a process that accelerates once the protective patina is lost.
A well-maintained roof in Ealing directly affects property value. With average house prices in W5 exceeding £700,000, a deteriorating roof can reduce sale value by £15,000-25,000 — far more than the cost of timely repair or replacement. Buyers and surveyors in Ealing are experienced enough to spot deferred roof maintenance, and mortgage lenders will flag roof condition on valuation reports.
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 Hanwell roofer who turns up when they say they will.
