Velux window repairs in Billingshurst for leaks, broken hinges, failed seals and faulty flashing. We find what's wrong and fix it, so you don't replace a window that can be saved.
Most roof window leaks don't come through the glass. They come from flashing that has lifted or cracked, tiles that have slipped against the frame, or a blocked drainage channel at the top of the window. Finding the true cause is always the first step.
Sticking or stiff hinges, broken handles and catches, worn seals that let in draughts, cracked flashing, and condensation running down the frame are the usual problems. Many of these can be fixed with genuine replacement parts, without replacing the whole window.
If the frame is rotten, the glazing has failed and the window is very old, repairs can cost more than they're worth. We'll tell you plainly if that's the case, and quote for both a repair and a replacement so you can decide.
Tell us what's happening, such as where water appears or which part is broken, and send a photo or the size code if you can. We check the window inside and out, find the cause and give you a free quote for the repair.
Most repairs are done in one visit. Depending on the fault, we clear drainage channels, reseat or replace the flashing, refit slipped tiles, or replace seals, hinges and handles. We test the window before we leave, opening and closing it to check it seals properly.

It depends on the fault and the parts needed. Clearing a blocked channel or refitting a few tiles is a small job, while new flashing or a replacement sash costs more. There's no call-out charge for coming to look, and you get a free quote.
Usually because water is getting past the flashing, a slipped tile or a blocked channel at the top of the frame, rather than through the window itself. Wind-driven rain finds weak spots first. We trace the leak and fix the cause, which is often a small repair.
Condensation forms when warm, moist air inside meets the cold glass. Opening the ventilation flap, using an extractor in bathrooms and keeping the room warm all help. If moisture is between the panes, the glazing seal has failed, and the sash or glazing needs replacing.
Usually, yes. A window that won't close often has a worn or broken hinge, a damaged handle or catch, or a frame that's been knocked out of line. We check the moving parts and replace what's worn, so the window closes and seals properly again.
