Velux Window Installation in Leigh, Wigan

Not all roof windows are the same, and picking the right one depends on where it's going and how you plan to use the room. Most people opt for the classic centre-pivot Velux window, which is ideal if the window is placed high up or if you have furniture underneath it. If you've got a great view of the Wigan skyline, you might prefer a top-hung model. These open outwards from the top, giving you an unobstructed view and a bit of extra headroom. We'll chat through the options with you during a visit to make sure you're getting a window that fits your lifestyle, not just your roof.

Is your old skylight looking a bit misty or letting in a cold breeze? It’s a common problem we see in older properties around Leigh. Older units simply don't have the thermal efficiency of modern Velux windows. By upgrading, you're not just fixing a potential leak; you're improving your home's U-values. This means your house stays warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, which is a win for your energy bills. We offer everything from standard double glazing to high-performance triple glazing, and even self-cleaning glass for those hard-to-reach spots.

The secret to a long-lasting roof window isn't just the window itself—it's the flashing kit and how it's fitted. We've seen too many DIY jobs where the window looks great but leaks the moment a typical North West rainstorm hits. Our team ensures a perfectly watertight seal by using professional flashing kits tailored to your specific roof material, whether it's slate or tile. We also pay close attention to the internal vapour barrier and insulation, preventing that annoying condensation that can lead to damp. It’s all about giving you total peace of mind that your home is secure and dry.

Sometimes you have a room or a hallway that's tucked away in the middle of the house where a standard window just won't fit. That’s where sun tunnels come in. Imagine a highly reflective tube that funnels natural sunlight from your roof directly down into a ceiling diffuser. It’s an ingenious way to kill off those dark corners without needing to keep the electric lights on all day. Our customers are always amazed at how much of a difference a single sun tunnel can make to a windowless bathroom or a dim corridor.
