Light, air and a watertight roof
Roof windows are a great way to bring natural light into your home, improve ventilation and make a loft conversion or extension feel bigger and brighter.
They only stay watertight if they are fitted and flashed correctly. Most leaking roof windows we see have failed at the flashing, not the glass. Our roof window installation includes the right flashing kit for your roof covering, with the slates or tiles made good around it.

Two lovely lads. Excellent job. Highly recommended
★★★★★
After being let down by multiple roofers for a leaking roof Legge Roofing came out and gave a very reasonable quote, fully explained what they would do, and how they would do it. Carl and Daryl were both very personable, professional and did the job on time and without any fuss, cleaning up afterwards and keeping me apprised throughout.
★★★★★
Got in touch with this company about getting a new roof, as mine was leaking. The job was started within a few weeks & finished a couple of weeks later. I can't thank the lads enough, great job done! Love the new roof & would fully recommend these lads & this company.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about roof window installation. If yours isn't here, give us a call.
Do I need planning permission for a roof window?
Often not, as many roof windows fall under permitted development. Windows on the front of a house or in a conservation area may need permission. The Planning Portal explains the rules.
Can you replace my old roof windows?
Yes. We replace old windows and fit the correct new flashing kit so they stay watertight.
Which Velux window do I need?
It depends on the room, the roof and how you want it to open. We will recommend centre-pivot, top-hung or conservation-style windows to suit.
How much does roof window installation cost?
It depends on the size of the job, the materials and access. We offer free surveys and itemised written quotes, usually within 48 hours, with no hidden charges.
Why is my roof window leaking?
Most leaks come from failed flashing rather than the glass. Replacing the window and flashing together usually solves it.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry £5 million public liability insurance and employer’s liability cover, and we are happy to show certificates before work starts.
