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 Teddington 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 Teddington.
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.

The streets of Teddington — including High Street Teddington, Stanley Road, Park Road Teddington — have roofing characteristics that reflect their construction era and the specific exposure conditions of Richmond upon Thames. The Thames winds through the borough from Hampton in the west to Kew and Barnes in the east, creating a microclimate with higher humidity than inland areas.

A standard centre-pivot Velux window supplied and installed in Teddington 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 Teddington 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.
Richmond upon Thames has the highest concentration of historic roofing in West London. Georgian townhouses on Richmond Hill carry original Welsh slate roofs that have been patched, repaired and partially replaced over 200+ years. The borough's 73 conservation areas — more than any other London borough — create a planning framework that requires roofing work to use period-appropriate materials, colours and methods. This is not optional — enforcement action for non-compliant roofing materials is actively pursued.
The Thames winds through Richmond from Hampton to Barnes, creating a humidity corridor that accelerates moss growth, lead oxidation and timber deterioration on riverside properties. Richmond Park's 2,500 acres of open ground creates a cold air reservoir that drains downhill toward riverside properties in the early morning hours, causing heavy condensation on roof surfaces. This combination of moisture and temperature fluctuation makes annual roof inspections essential for Richmond properties.
Richmond has some of the highest property values in London outside the central boroughs. Georgian houses on Richmond Hill regularly sell above £2 million, and the roofing specification expected at this price point is correspondingly high. Original Welsh slate, cast lead guttering, lime mortar pointing and hand-dressed flashings are the standard — not premium upgrades. The cost of a heritage-grade re-roof on a Richmond Hill property can exceed £30,000, but the alternative is unthinkable for properties at this value.
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.
