Velux window installation, replacement and leak repairs. Serving Dulwich (SE21, SE22, SE24) and surrounding areas with free quotes and a 10-year guarantee.
Controlled by the Dulwich Estate conservation area with strict guidelines. Large Edwardian and Victorian villas along Dulwich Village and Calton Avenue. Victorian terraces in East Dulwich around Lordship Lane. 1930s houses in West Dulwich. The Estate mandates specific materials — uPVC and non-traditional materials are prohibited.
For velux & skylights specifically, this housing mix creates distinct demands. Natural slate and handmade clay tiles dominate — the Dulwich Estate prohibits concrete tiles within its boundary. Original Welsh slate on Victorian, handmade clay plain tiles on Edwardian villas. Conservation-compliant materials only. — and each roof type requires different materials, methods and experience to repair or replace correctly.
Dulwich sits in a gentle bowl between Crystal Palace and Denmark Hill. The heavy mature tree canopy retains moisture and reduces wind, creating a microclimate consistently damper and more moss-prone than surrounding open areas. Frost lingers longer here in winter mornings. For velux & skylights work, this means materials and methods must be specified for Dulwich's particular conditions — not generic South London assumptions.
Estate conservation restrictions mean repairs must use matching natural materials — increasing costs but maintaining values. Heavy tree canopy drops extraordinary leaf volumes into gutters and valleys every autumn. North-facing roofs under tree cover develop severe moss in 2–3 years. Large complex Edwardian roof forms create multiple valleys needing periodic attention.
Every velux & skylights job in Dulwich starts with a proper inspection — from the roof, not the pavement. We photograph the issue, explain the cause, and give you a written quote with no hidden costs. Most minor work is completed same-day. Larger projects are scheduled within days and we keep you updated throughout.
We cut the opening between rafters (or modify rafter positions with structural trimming for larger windows), form the internal lining from plasterboard, install the Velux window with the manufacturer-specific flashing kit, and make good internally and externally. The flashing kit is critical — it is engineered to integrate with specific tile or slate profiles and creates a weathertight seal that a generic flashing cannot match. We are trained Velux installers and use the correct kit for every installation. This is why our Velux windows do not leak — and why many fitted by general builders do.
Velux offer centre-pivot (the standard opening), top-hung (opens outward from the top for better views), conservation-style (flush fitting for heritage properties), flat-roof versions, and fixed non-opening units for light only. Sizes range from 550×780mm to 1340×1400mm. Electric and solar-powered operation is available. We survey your roof pitch, rafter spacing, room size and building regulations to recommend the optimal window type, size and position for maximum light and ventilation while meeting planning requirements.
Condensation between panes means the sealed unit has failed — replacement glass is available without replacing the whole window. Leaking is almost always a flashing problem, not a window problem — incorrect installation or degraded flashing kits cause 90% of Velux leaks we attend. Stiff mechanisms can usually be freed and re-lubricated. We carry common Velux parts and can repair most issues on the first visit. Full window replacement is only necessary when the frame itself is damaged or the window is more than 25 years old and multiple components have failed.

Dulwich sits in a gentle bowl between Crystal Palace and Denmark Hill. The heavy mature tree canopy retains moisture and reduces wind, creating a microclimate consistently damper and more moss-prone than surrounding open areas. Frost lingers longer here in winter mornings. These conditions directly affect how we specify materials and methods for velux & skylights work. A repair that holds in sheltered Camberwell may not survive the same winter on an exposed Dulwich roof without the correct specification for local conditions.
