Velux & Skylight Installation

Velux & Skylight Installation Across Warwickshire

A properly installed roof window or skylight transforms a room — flooding it with natural light, improving ventilation, and adding real value to your home. A1 Rooflines installs, repairs and replaces Velux windows and skylights of all types across Warwickshire, from Coventry and Rugby to Leamington Spa, Warwick, Nuneaton and Stratford-upon-Avon.

We work on all roof types — pitched tiled roofs, slate roofs, and flat roofs — and can advise on the best skylight solution for your home, your roof pitch, and your budget.

Types of Velux & Roof Windows We Install

Velux Centre-Pivot Roof Windows

The classic Velux window design — the sash rotates 180° on a central axis, making it easy to clean the outside glass from inside the room. Ideal for loft conversions, attic bedrooms and any room where you want maximum light and ventilation. Available in a huge range of sizes and with a variety of glazing options including laminated safety glass and anti-condensation coatings.

Velux Top-Hung Roof Windows

Top-hung windows open from the bottom and swing outward, providing a clear, unobstructed view and excellent ventilation. They're particularly popular in loft bedrooms and home offices where an open view is important. Top-hung windows can be installed on steeper roof pitches where centre-pivot windows aren't suitable.

Flat Roof Windows & Rooflights

Flat roofs present a unique opportunity to install large format rooflights that flood rooms below with natural light. We install a range of fixed and opening flat roof windows including:

• Velux flat roof window systems with kerb frames
• Fixed flat rooflights — single, double or triple glazed
• Opening flat roof windows for ventilation
• Large-format walk-on rooflights for terraces and balconies
• Frameless flush-fit rooflights for a contemporary look

Sun Tunnels & Roof Light Tubes

Sun tunnels (also called solar tubes or light tubes) channel daylight from the roof into rooms that can't accommodate a traditional window — hallways, bathrooms, landings and kitchens over single-storey extensions. A highly reflective tube runs between a roof-mounted dome and a ceiling-mounted diffuser, delivering natural light to otherwise dark spaces without major structural work.

Velux Replacement & Repair

Existing Velux windows that are leaking, misty, or no longer opening correctly don't always need full replacement. Common issues we fix include:

• Failed or cracked flashing kits — the most common cause of Velux leaks
• Worn seals and gaskets around the frame
• Misted or condensated double-glazed units
• Broken handles, hinges or locking mechanisms
• Complete like-for-like Velux replacement
