Velux & Skylights Fareham
Velux & Skylights in Fareham, Hampshire
Fareham town centre has a substantial Victorian and Edwardian core around West Street and High Street, with terraced housing in the streets behind the town. The majority of the borough is 1960s to 1980s suburban development — large estates at Catisfield, Stubbington and Park Gate with predominantly concrete interlocking tile roofs now 40 to 60 years old. Portchester has older stock again including properties near the Castle.
Our velux & skylights service covers all of PO14 — free surveys, honest assessments and no call-out fees. Call 0238 184 9628 for same-week availability across Fareham.
Velux Installation in Fareham — Roof Types We Work On
Velux window installation in Fareham spans the full range of the town's roof types — Welsh slate on period properties, clay tile on interwar semis, and concrete interlocking tile on the post-war estates. Each roof type requires a different approved flashing kit. On Fareham's Welsh slate on Victorian town centre stock, concrete interlocking tile on post-war estates roofs, correct flashing selection and integration is critical to a weathertight installation. A Velux window incorrectly flashed on any tile type will leak in its first wet winter.
Planning Considerations for Fareham Velux Installations
Most single Velux window installations in Fareham are permitted development — no planning permission required. The key restrictions are: windows on the principal or front elevation of a house in a designated area may need permission, windows that protrude more than 150mm above the roof plane require permission, and any work on a listed building requires listed building consent. We advise on planning implications during the free survey for Fareham and all PO14 properties.
Flat Roof Skylights for Fareham Extensions
Single-storey rear extensions across Fareham's estate housing can be significantly improved by integrating a fixed-light or opening skylight into the flat roof. If you are having your flat roof replaced, including a skylight in the programme is the most cost-effective approach — the flat roof is already being opened and the skylight can be integrated into the GRP or EPDM system without a separate return visit or additional access costs.

Velux Installation in Fareham
Velux window installation in Fareham requires the correct approved flashing kit for the roof covering in place. The Welsh slate on Victorian stock, concrete interlocking on post-war estates across Fareham's housing stock requires different flashing geometry for each product type. On concrete interlocking tile — the most common type in Fareham's estate housing — the flashing profile must match the tile profile precisely. An incorrectly specified flashing on any tile type will leak in its first wet winter. We use manufacturer-approved kits for all tile types.
Planning for Velux Windows in Fareham

Restrictions apply to front or principal elevation windows in conservation areas, windows projecting more than 150mm above the roof pitch, and any work on listed buildings. We advise on planning implications at the survey stage for all Fareham and PO14 properties before providing a quote.

Honest advice
How to Tell You Need Velux & Skylights in Fareham
Adding light to a dark Fareham room is straightforward with the right roof window — provided it is flashed correctly into the covering. Here is what matters.
A flat-roof extension that would benefit from a light
A dormer window with failed weatherproofing
A stiff or jammed roof window that no longer opens cleanly
An existing roof window leaking around the flashing
Condensation or draughts around an old, tired skylight
When it is not the answer: If an existing roof window only leaks at the flashing, re-flashing beats full replacement — we will not sell you a new unit you do not need Read the full guide.
A roof window must be flashed into the covering, underlay and battens correctly to stay watertight.The process

Guarantee
The Guarantee in Plain Terms
Installation is guaranteed for 10 years; the roof window itself carries the manufacturer’s warranty (typically 10–20 years) on top.
Covered: workmanship for 10 years, in writing, transferable if you sell.
On top: manufacturer warranties on materials (terms vary by product).
Not covered: storm or impact damage - that is an insurance matter, and we will document it for your claim.
Wherever you are in Fareham, the work is backed by a written 10-year workmanship guarantee, plus the manufacturer warranties on materials.
“Manufacturer installation standards require the correct flashing kit matched to the roof covering — the most common cause of a leaking roof window is a flashing mismatch, not the unit itself.”— BS 5534 / manufacturer installation standards
Good to know
Disruption, Mess & Weather
One or two days with some cutting noise and internal making-good; we sheet the room below and clear up fully. You do not need to stay home for external work - we just need power and access agreed in advance.
Installation runs year-round; the opening is never left exposed overnight. Fareham sits at the head of its own creek off Portsmouth Harbour, with salt exposure similar to the Solent shore.
