C&J Construction & Roofing LTD installs Velux and other roof windows into pitched roofs across West Yorkshire, in loft conversions, existing bedrooms, bathrooms, landings and new build properties. The window is only half the job. The flashing kit, the trimming of the rafters and the internal finish are what make it last.

A roof window transforms a dark loft room or landing, and it is one of the few jobs that adds light, ventilation and value at the same time. It is also one of the easiest jobs to get wrong, because the window sits in the middle of a water shedding surface.

Our installation process:

  • Position agreed with you inside and out, taking rafter positions, sight lines and head height into account
  • Rafters trimmed correctly with new trimmers, so the structure is not weakened
  • Window fitted level and square with the correct manufacturer flashing kit for your roof covering, whether tile, slate or low pitch
  • Insulation collar and vapour barrier fitted around the frame
  • Tiles or slates cut and re laid neatly around the flashing
  • Internal plasterboard reveals formed, taped and finished ready for decoration

We install centre pivot, top hung, electric and solar powered units, and blackout, obscure and laminated glazing. We also replace failed older units that have blown seals or leaking flashings.

Common questions

Questions about velux installation

If your question is not answered here, call 07927 976489 and ask.

Do I need planning permission for a Velux window?

Roof windows fitted in the plane of the existing roof, not projecting beyond it, are normally permitted development on houses. Listed buildings, conservation areas, flats and front elevations facing a highway can be different. We will flag it before we quote.How long does it take to fit a roof window? | A single roof window into an existing pitched roof is usually a one day job for the external work, with internal plasterboard reveals finished the following day. Multiple windows or low pitch roofs may take longer.Why is my existing Velux leaking? | Almost always the flashing kit rather than the window. Either the wrong kit was used for the roof covering, the tiles were not cut in properly, or the underfelt was not dressed into the frame. We can usually re flash without replacing the whole unit.

Customer feedback

What our customers say

5 out of 5 from 5 reviews left on Facebook by customers across West Yorkshire.

  • We recently had our roof replaced by Connor and his team, and I honestly could not recommend them highly enough. From the very beginning, Connor was friendly and professional. Communication was excellent throughout the whole job. Any questions were answered quickly, and we were always kept informed about what was happening. The work was completed much quicker than we expected without compromising on quality, and the finished roof looks fantastic. The team worked hard, were respectful of our property, and left everything clean and tidy when they finished. Thank you to Connor and everyone involved for doing such a great job.

  • The work done was excellent. Turned up on time, worked all day, left the job tidy every day and the final finish was more than we expected. First class workers.
