Velux & Skylights Winchester
Velux & Skylights in Winchester, Hampshire
Winchester's housing stock is uniquely diverse — Georgian and Victorian terraces and townhouses in the city centre, large Edwardian detacheds in the St Cross and St Giles Hill area, and extensive 1960s to 1980s suburban estates on the city fringes at Badger Farm, Harestock and Weeke. The historic city centre properties on Jewry Street, The Broadway and Canon Street have some of the oldest inhabited roofing in Hampshire.
Our velux & skylights service covers all of SO22 — free surveys, honest assessments and no call-out fees. Call 0238 184 9628 for same-week availability across Winchester.
Velux Installation in Winchester — Roof Types We Work On
Velux window installation in Winchester 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 Winchester's Welsh slate on period properties, concrete interlocking on 1960s to 1980s suburban stock 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 Winchester Velux Installations
Most single Velux window installations in Winchester 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 Winchester and all SO22 properties.
Flat Roof Skylights for Winchester Extensions
Single-storey rear extensions across Winchester'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 Winchester
Velux window installation in Winchester requires the correct approved flashing kit for the roof covering in place. The Welsh slate on period city centre properties, concrete interlocking on suburban fringe estates across Winchester's housing stock requires different flashing geometry for each product type. On concrete interlocking tile — the most common type in Winchester'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 Winchester
Most single Velux installations in Winchester are permitted development — no planning permission required. 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 Winchester and SO22 properties before providing a quote.
Flat Roof Skylights for Winchester Extensions

We quote for combined flat roof replacement and skylight installation across Winchester and all SO22.

Honest advice
How to Tell You Need Velux & Skylights in Winchester
In Winchester, a well-fitted roof window is transformative and a badly-flashed one is a recurring leak. The difference is almost always the flashing kit.
Condensation or draughts around an old, tired skylight
A dark loft conversion or deep terraced rear room needing light
A dormer window with failed weatherproofing
An existing roof window leaking around the flashing
A roof window fitted with the wrong flashing kit for the tiles
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

Access
Getting Safely onto Winchester Roofs
Roof-window installation needs scaffold or towers for safe external access and flashing, itemised in the quote. Scaffold is specified for: all pitched-roof window installations above single-storey - always itemised in your written quote, never a hidden extra, and we arrange it.
Winchester’s historic core has listed and conservation-area stock where scaffold on narrow lanes needs a Winchester City Council permit and sensitive handling. Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through Winchester City Council; allow a few working days on streets like Kingsgate Street, Canon Street, the lanes off the High Street where space is tight.

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.
Every Winchester job carries the same written 10-year workmanship guarantee, and any materials carry their manufacturer warranties on top.
“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. Winchester’s chalk-valley setting brings river-valley humidity and frost pockets that accelerate mortar and slate weathering.
