We were called out to a property to inspect failed glazing within the existing Velux windows. Upon assessment, it was confirmed that the glass units had failed and the windows required full replacement rather than repair.
Our works included the careful removal and disposal of the existing defective roof windows, followed by the supply and installation of new Velux conservation roof windows to match the character and style of the property. The new units were fitted in accordance with manufacturer guidelines, ensuring a weather-tight finish, improved thermal performance, and restored natural light to the internal space.
All surrounding finishes were made good as required, leaving the installation clean, secure, and in keeping with the property’s appearance.
Our team completed all aspects of the project, including structural works, insulation, staircase installation, plumbing, electrics, plastering, and bespoke joinery. The result is a high-quality loft conversion that blends seamlessly with the rest of the property while making the most of the available space.
One of the main challenges was replacing the failed roof windows while maintaining the character of the property. To address this, we installed Velux conservation windows, which are specifically designed to provide a more traditional appearance while delivering the benefits of modern performance.
Another challenge was ensuring the replacement process caused minimal disruption to the property and surrounding finishes. This was managed through careful removal of the existing windows and precise installation of the new units, allowing us to achieve a clean finish and maintain the integrity of the roof.
The failed glazing had also reduced the thermal efficiency and overall effectiveness of the original windows. By replacing them with new conservation roof windows, we were able to significantly improve insulation, weather resistance, and the amount of natural light entering the space.
