Replacing them is often simpler than people expect, as new windows are made to fit many existing openings. We fit the new window with fresh flashing. See what Velux window replacement involves.

We fit fixed and opening skylights on pitched and flat roofs, sealed so they stay watertight. Find out more about skylight installation in Billingshurst.
More about skylight installationA roof lantern is a raised glazed structure that sits on a flat roof and floods the room below with light. They suit kitchen extensions and garden rooms. We build the upstand, fit the lantern and weatherproof it into the roof. See what roof lantern installation involves.

Usually not. Most roof windows count as permitted development, as long as they don't stick out more than 150mm from the roof slope or sit higher than the ridge. Listed buildings and some conservation areas have stricter rules, so check with the local council if that applies to your home.
Usually, yes. The position is set by the rafters and the height of the room, and we place the window so you can reach the handle and see out comfortably. On shallow roof slopes we'll suggest a window that suits the angle of your roof.
Not if it's fitted properly. Modern roof windows are double or triple glazed, and insulation is packed around the frame when it goes in. A good blind helps on the coldest nights too. Older windows with worn seals are a different story, which is one reason people replace them.
Fitting a single roof window into an existing roof usually takes about a day. Roof lanterns and larger openings take longer because of the upstand and the making good around it. We'll give you a likely timescale with your quote and keep the roof covered if the weather turns.
