Standard and large VELUX centre-pivot windows fitted with the correct flashing kit for your tile profile. The wrong flashing kit is the most common cause of VELUX leaks.
Fixed roof lights for rooms where ventilation isn't needed. Lower cost, suitable for lower pitches and bathroom/hallway applications.
Rigid and flexible sun tunnels bring daylight to rooms with no direct roof access. Typically installed in a half-day.
Failed flashings, broken handles, misted glazing units and seal failures on existing VELUX windows repaired or replaced.
Farnborough's stock of 1970s–1990s 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.
Farnborough is flat and densely built, with the highest housing density in Hampshire. This concentrates roofing demand — more properties per square mile than any surrounding area.
Widespread concrete tile failure on Cove and Southwood estates. High emergency call volume from the dense housing. Flat roof extensions on 1960s properties frequently failing.
We cover Farnborough (GU14) and surrounding areas including Cove, Aldershot, Fleet. Same-day response available Monday to Saturday. Emergency call-outs 24/7.

Farnborough has the highest density of end-of-life concrete tile housing in Hampshire. The large post-war estates in Cove and Southwood — built between 1955 and 1970 — are now 55–70 years old. Many properties on these estates are presenting widespread surface carbonation on tiles, open ridge mortar, and flat garage roofs well past their service life simultaneously.
VELUX installation in Farnborough 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.
Farnborough's high housing density means roofing contractors are in high demand here — particularly in spring and after autumn storms. Booking ahead rather than waiting for an emergency is good practice for Farnborough homeowners.
The dense suburban tree planting on Farnborough's 1960s estates generates significant leaf fall every autumn. Gutter and valley clearance is the most important annual maintenance task for properties on these estates.
"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 Farnborough. 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.
