Failed flashings, broken handles, misted glazing units and seal failures on existing VELUX windows repaired or replaced.
Aldershot's stock of Victorian and Edwardian housing has seen significant loft conversion activity. Roof windows are often the difference between a storage loft and a habitable room — and correct flashing for Hampshire weather conditions is essential.
Aldershot sits on a low sandy plain with woodland to the south. Properties backing onto Aldershot Park and the military land face high leaf fall volume causing valley and gutter blockages every autumn.
Nail sickness on 1970s concrete tile estates. Welsh slate matching required on Victorian garrison terraces in the town centre. Lead valley failures on woodland-backed properties.

Aldershot's Victorian garrison terraces present some of the most specific roofing requirements in the area. Original Welsh slate on properties along Wellington Avenue and the surrounding streets requires matching natural slate for repairs — and lime mortar for all pointing work. Using cement mortar on these properties causes spalling brickwork within 10 years.
VELUX installation in Aldershot requires attention to two details that determine long-term performance: the correct flashing kit for your specific tile profile, and adequate counter-batten height to allow proper weathering above the frame. Both are installation specifics that separate a window that performs for 25 years from one that leaks in year three. We get both right.
The diversity of housing eras in Aldershot — from 1870s garrison terraces to 1970s council stock in South Aldershot — means local knowledge is particularly important. What's right for one property type is wrong for another half a mile away.
Properties backing onto woodland near Aldershot Park face above-average leaf fall volume every autumn. Valley and gutter clearance is critical here — blocked valleys are the primary cause of roof leaks we attend in the Aldershot area each November and December.
"Three VELUX windows fitted as part of our loft conversion. Correctly flashed, not a drop in 18 months. Would recommend without hesitation."
"Had a sun tunnel put into the dark hallway. Incredible difference — transformed the space. Half a day's work."
"Existing VELUX had been leaking since the previous owner. Wrong flashing kit — sorted on the first visit. Should have been done right first time."
A standard VELUX centre-pivot window supplied and fitted with the correct flashing kit for your tile type typically costs £600–£900 in Aldershot. Sun tunnels start from £350. We provide a free written quote once the specification is confirmed.
Most roof window installations are permitted development. Exceptions include conservation area properties and listed buildings. We'll advise on whether consent is needed and help specify an installation that stays within PD rights where possible.
The most common cause is an incorrect flashing kit for the tile profile — widespread when windows are fitted by roofers unfamiliar with the VELUX system. Other causes include failed butyl tape seals and displaced sill sections. Most leaks can be fixed without replacing the window.
VELUX centre-pivot windows require a minimum 15° pitch. Below this, a flat roof window or sun tunnel is the right solution. We'll confirm suitability at survey stage.
