Velux window installation, replacement and leak repairs. Serving Wandsworth (SW18, SW15) and surrounding areas with free quotes and a 10-year guarantee.
Victorian terraces in Southfields and East Putney. Edwardian houses around Wandsworth Common. 1930s semis on West Hill and Putney Heath. Major post-war estates. Modern riverside developments along the Wandle and Thames. Putney end tends larger and higher value.
For velux & skylights specifically, this housing mix creates distinct demands. Mixed — Welsh slate on Victorian, clay and concrete tiles on Edwardian and 1930s, flat roofs on post-war blocks. Properties near the River Wandle face additional moisture exposure. — and each roof type requires different materials, methods and experience to repair or replace correctly.
The Wandle valley channels cold air from Wimbledon Common towards the Thames. Properties in the valley bottom around Wandsworth Town experience temperature inversions trapping cold, damp air at roof level — accelerating every form of moisture-related degradation. For velux & skylights work, this means materials and methods must be specified for Wandsworth's particular conditions — not generic South London assumptions.
The River Wandle creates a damp corridor affecting properties within 200m — accelerated moss, faster corrosion, and timber moisture levels pushing borderline rafters into decay. Victorian terraces in Southfields face standard inner-South-London slate nail sickness. 1930s stock on West Hill has hipped roofs needing ridge rebedding every 25–30 years.
Every velux & skylights job in Wandsworth 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.
Victorian terraces in Southfields and East Putney. Edwardian houses around Wandsworth Common. 1930s semis on West Hill and Putney Heath. Major post-war estates. Modern riverside developments along the Wandle and Thames. Putney end tends larger and higher value. This means velux & skylights work in Wandsworth must account for the specific roof types, materials and structural conditions found here — not generic assumptions about South London properties.
The Wandle valley channels cold air from Wimbledon Common towards the Thames. Properties in the valley bottom around Wandsworth Town experience temperature inversions trapping cold, damp air at roof level — accelerating every form of moisture-related degradation. 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 Wandsworth roof without the correct specification for local conditions.
